Playing tips
- Use your amp's built-in reverb set to a low level to mimic the spacious feel of the original tone.
- Ensure a tight picking attack to achieve the punchy, percussive sound characteristic of the riff.
- Consider palm muting for added definition and clarity during the chugging sections.
