Playing tips
- Use your amp's built-in chorus set to a moderate level to replicate the modulation effect of the original tone.
- Focus on aggressive picking to emphasize the punchy, raw character of the riff.
- Incorporate slides between notes to add body and sustain, mimicking the original's octave-down effect.
