Playing tips
- Use your amp's built-in chorus set to a moderate level (6) to add body and subtle modulation.
- Focus on tight palm-muted chugs to achieve the aggressive pick attack characteristic of the original tone.
- Maintain a strong pick attack to emphasize the bone-crushing crunch of the riff.
