Notes

Studio recording, 1990s. Local H was known for using a Telecaster with bass strings and a Marshall JCM 900 for their heavy, grungy riff tones on 'Hallelujah! I'm a Bum' era recordings. No direct source confirms the exact amp/guitar for 'Another February', but this matches all available evidence for their 90s studio sound.

Difficulty

The riff requires solid timing, palm muting, and aggressive picking for the grungy attack, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo changes.
