Playing tips
- Use your amp's built-in delay set to a moderate level to recreate the rhythmic repeats characteristic of the original tone.
- Focus on tight palm muting to achieve the percussive attack that defines the riff.
- Experiment with picking dynamics to emphasize the aggressive nature of the riff.
