Playing tips
- Use your amp's built-in reverb set to a low level to replicate the spacious feel of the original tone.
- Keep your picking hand tight and focused to achieve the chugging attack characteristic of the riff.
- Experiment with palm muting on the lower strings to emphasize the punchy, percussive nature of the riff.
