Notes

Studio recording for 'Lesson Learned' (2009, Black Gives Way to Blue). Jerry Cantrell is known to use the G&L Rampage with the SH-4 JB in the bridge for most main riffs, and the Bogner Fish preamp into Marshall cabs was his primary studio setup for this era. No evidence of live/touring substitutions for this specific recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, articulate palm muting and precise alternate picking at a moderate tempo, demanding good right-hand control and timing, but does not involve advanced techniques or high speed.
