Notes

Studio recording, 1987. Chuck Schuldiner used his B.C. Rich Stealth with a DiMarzio X2N into a Randall RG100ES for the Scream Bloody Gore album. No evidence of pedals or additional effects for the clean parts; amp reverb may have been used sparingly. No evidence of live rig differing for clean sections.

Difficulty

The clean riff is fast and requires tight alternate picking and muting, but uses straightforward fretting and no advanced techniques.
