Playing tips
- Use your amp's built-in reverb set to a moderate level to recreate the spacious feel of the original tone.
- Focus on a compressed but aggressive picking attack to match the original riff's energy.
- Experiment with palm muting on the lower strings for a tighter sound during the riff.
