Notes

Studio recording, 1994. Gear confirmed for Pantera's 'Far Beyond Driven' era. No direct evidence of alternate guitars or amps for clean sections; Dimebag typically used the same rig for both clean and distorted parts, rolling back gain/volume for cleans.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires tight, syncopated picking and precise muting for clarity, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo.
