Notes

Studio recording, 1993. Guitar and amp confirmed for Candlebox era and 'Far Behind' riff/chorus sections. No evidence of Marshall or other amps for this song's heavy parts. No explicit mention of pedals for distortion; JC-120 is a solid-state clean amp, so distortion likely from a pedal or studio processing, but no pedal is confirmed for the original recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires solid rhythm skills, dynamic control between palm-muted and open chords, and tight timing, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
