Playing tips

  • Use your amp's built-in reverb set to a low level to recreate the spacious feel of the original tone.
  • Focus on tight palm muting to achieve the chugging intensity characteristic of the riff.
  • Maintain a strong attack with your picking hand to ensure clarity in the distorted tone.
