Notes

Studio recording for 'Runnin' Wild' (2007). All evidence points to the classic Gibson Explorer into a Marshall JCM800 2203 for the main riff section. No evidence of pedal use for the core rhythm tone. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars/amps for this specific recording.

Difficulty

The riff is fast and requires tight, aggressive picking with precise palm muting, but uses straightforward power chords and rhythm patterns typical of hard rock.
