Playing tips
- Use your amp's built-in reverb set to a low level to add some spaciousness without overwhelming the tone.
- Focus on tight palm muting to achieve the percussive attack characteristic of the original riff.
- Maintain a consistent picking attack to ensure clear note separation under gain.
