From Scream (2010). A heavy, mid-tempo rock track with a crunchy riff and a flashy solo. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Use the bridge pickup and set the amp for a tight, high-gain tone. Tuning isn't documented here.
