Fear-Factory

Here we have a heavy groove, palm muted single line riff that opens out into a powerchord version. Use downstrokes for the eighth notes and alternate picking for the sixteenth notes. Try to keep relaxed, the picking motion coming from the wrist. Aim to get clear note separation with the palm muting and be aware of the importance of fretting hand muting for the rests.
