Notes

Studio recording, 1990 demo era. Dean DeLeo is known to use a Gibson Les Paul Special with P-90s into a Vox AC30 for clean tones in early Stone Temple Pilots demos. No direct evidence of pedals for the clean riff section; chorus and delay are associated with other songs/sections but not clearly present here.

Difficulty

The riff requires clean, articulate playing with dynamic control and accurate chord voicings, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
