Notes

Studio recording, 2014 (World on Fire album sessions). No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section. No explicit mention of pedals for the riff section; Slash is known for minimal pedal use in rhythm parts. Settings estimated based on typical Silver Jubilee usage for Slash in this era.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate technique due to syncopated rhythms, dynamic palm muting, and precise picking, but does not involve advanced lead or complex chord voicings.
