Proprioception
The opening guitar riff was one of the most difficult on the album to
play cleanly. It involves pull offs, muting, hammer ons, string
bending, string sliding, and string skipping. All this occurs within a
simple 4/4 beat.
Luke's voice has a severe delayed flang effect on the "Break your fall
with daggers" section. The shouting vocals are done by Aaron. The
guitar in that section is not double tracked. It is a single pass
mixed really loud.
(Nearly all Tourniquet rhythm guitars are played
twice and mixed near left and right - making it very important to play
them precisely!)
