Playing tips
- Use your amp's built-in reverb set to a low level to replicate the spacious feel of the original tone.
- Focus on a tight picking technique to achieve the percussive attack characteristic of the original riff.
- Experiment with palm muting on the lower strings to enhance the chugging effect before the chorus.
