Notes

Studio recording, 1994 (Deliverance album). Goldtop P-90 neck pickup confirmed for riff section. Mesa/Boogie .50 Caliber+ head used for main rhythm tone. No evidence of Orange Thunderverb or ESP guitars on this specific recording; those are later/live rigs.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight rhythmic control, dynamic picking, and palm muting, but does not involve advanced techniques or high speed, making it accessible to intermediate players.
