Notes

Studio recording, 2005. Settings and gear based on studio-era sources and period-correct equipment. No explicit evidence of pedals or effects used for clean sections; overdrive pedal is mentioned for distorted parts, but not for clean. Pickup selector likely set to bridge for main riff, but clean sections may use neck or both pickups.

Difficulty

The riff is fast and requires precise alternate picking and tight rhythm, but uses straightforward chord shapes and no advanced techniques, making it accessible to intermediate players.
