Notes

Studio recording, 1992 (Angel Dust album). Gear confirmed for Jon Hudson's main rig, but no explicit studio photo for 'Kindergarten' session. No evidence of alternate guitars/amps for this riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate-level rhythmic control, tight palm muting, and dynamic pick attack to capture the percussive, articulate character of the original recording.
