Playing tips
- Use your amp's built-in reverb set to a moderate level to recreate the spacious feel of the original tone.
- Focus on a percussive attack while playing the riff to maintain clarity and articulation.
- Experiment with picking dynamics to achieve a slightly gritty sound without overdriving the amp.
