Notes
The riff in 'Coffin Nails' is a sample from David Matthews' 1977 cover of 'Space Oddity', not a live guitar performance by MF DOOM. All tone is from the sampled recording, not from a guitar/amp setup in the studio. Studio production, 2004 release.

Difficulty
The riff itself is not technically demanding but requires precise timing and a clean, even touch to match the sampled feel. The main challenge is replicating the groove and subtlety of the original studio performance.
