Playing tips
- Focus on a strong, aggressive picking attack to capture the original tone's bite.
- Use palm muting selectively to add punch to the riff, especially on the lower strings.
- Experiment with dynamics; play some notes softer and others harder to mimic the original's expressive phrasing.
