Playing tips
- Use your amp's built-in delay set to a moderate level to recreate the rhythmic repeats of the original tone.
- Dial in the variation on your amp to enhance the high-gain character for tighter lows and crisper highs.
- Focus on aggressive palm muting to achieve the percussive attack characteristic of the original riff.
