Notes

Studio recording, 1984 (Dirty Fingers album sessions). Guitar and amp confirmed for this era and song by Equipboard and forum discussions. Pedal use inferred from era and Moore's typical setup for heavy riff sections.

Difficulty

The riff requires control of sustain and vibrato, dynamic picking, and tight rhythm playing with a saturated tone, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
