Notes

Studio recording, 1993 debut album. Gear inferred from era and known Candlebox studio setups for clean tones. No direct source for 'A Kiss Before Dying' clean section, but band used Les Pauls and Mesa/Boogie Rectifiers on debut album. Settings adapted for clean section, not the distorted riff.

Difficulty

The clean riff section requires accurate chord voicings and dynamic control for clarity, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
