Notes

Studio recording for 'Falling Away from Me' (Issues, 1999). Clean tone section played by Head using his custom Ibanez 7-string with DiMarzio PAF 7 neck pickup. Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier used for both clean and heavy tones in studio. No evidence of Kemper or other digital amps for the original studio recording.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires accurate left-hand stretches and right-hand muting to maintain the haunting, atmospheric quality, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
