Notes

Studio recording, 2002 album 'Wonder What's Next'. Guitar and amp confirmed by multiple sources for this era and album. Clean tone sections use the same rig as heavy parts but with clean channel and rolled-back gain. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for clean sections.

Difficulty

The riff requires clean, accurate picking and control of dynamics to maintain clarity in low tunings, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
