Playing tips
- Use your amp's built-in chorus set to a moderate level to recreate the swirling texture of the original tone.
- Hit the strings hard to achieve the aggressive sound characteristic of the riff.
- Experiment with the reverb to add depth to the sound, but keep it subtle to maintain clarity.
