Bruh... I'm speechless... never subber so fast. One quick note, LoG play a lot of their riffs above 12 fret, to give the notes a more beefy tone. The Blood of the Scribe riff gets a tad easier when you play those 32nd notes in 15 to 18th fret and the riff pattern overall gets easier to follow. They play it this way live also, probably because it's indeed easier.
