Notes

Studio recording for 'Less Talk, More Rock' (1996); amp and guitar confirmed for Chris Hannah in later interviews, but exact studio gear for this album inferred from era and band history. Friedman BE-100 and Fractal VP4 are later additions, not relevant to this album. Cabinet likely Mesa/Boogie Rectifier 4x12 with Celestion V30s and G12M Greenbacks, but not confirmed for this specific recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking and tight palm muting at a high tempo, demanding precision and stamina typical of 1990s punk/hardcore rhythm guitar.
