Notes

Studio recording for 'Apocalyptic Love' (2012). For 'Halo' and other early tracks, Slash used his Gibson Appetite Les Paul due to his main Derrig Les Paul being in for repairs. Amps were run simultaneously and blended. No evidence of pedal use for the main riff; streamlined, direct setup.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, articulate palm muting at a moderate tempo, with fast alternate picking and syncopated accents, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
