Notes

Studio recording for 'Dig' (L.D. 50, 2000); Greg Tribbett used a Gibson Les Paul Gothic Morte for the main riff, plugged into a Randall V2 head. No evidence of pedals or effects used for the riff section. All settings and gear refer to the studio version, not live.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate palm muting and alternate picking at a high tempo, with complex syncopated rhythms and tight muting, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
