Playing tips
- Use your amp's built-in reverb set to a moderate level to recreate the spacious feel of the original tone.
- Experiment with your picking dynamics to achieve the punchy rhythm drive characteristic of the original riff.
- Try palm muting on the lower strings for a thicker, more saturated sound.
