Notes

Studio recording, 1998. Guitar and amp confirmed as primary rig for Courtney Love during 'Celebrity Skin' era. No evidence found for alternate guitars or amps on the clean riff section. No evidence of pedal use for clean tone in studio; Big Muff Pi mentioned for fuzz/distorted sections only.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, steady alternate strumming and precise muting to maintain clarity at tempo, but uses straightforward chord shapes and no advanced techniques.
