Playing tips

  • Use your amp's built-in delay set to a moderate level to recreate the rhythmic feel of the original tone.
  • Dial in a strong palm muting technique to achieve the tightness and percussive attack characteristic of the riff.
  • Focus on picking with a sharp attack to enhance the biting treble and articulation of the notes.
