Notes

Studio recording, 1990/1991, for the album 'Facelift'. Jerry Cantrell used his G&L Rampage with a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge, into a Bogner Fish preamp and VHT Classic power amp. No evidence of live or alternate gear for the clean section. Chorus effect is suggested by forum users and is faintly audible in the clean riff.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires precise picking, dynamic control, and expressive phrasing to capture the haunting atmosphere, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
