Notes

Studio recording, 2010, for the album 'Infestation'. Warren DeMartini confirmed using his Charvel 'Frenchie' with the Soldano SLO 100 for all tracks except one (not 'Shame Shame Shame'). The Soldano was run through a Diezel 4x12 cab with Celestion Vintage 30s. No evidence of live rig or alternate amp for this track.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight alternate picking and palm muting, with precise timing and aggressive attack to match the high-gain, articulate tone. While not technically extreme, the tempo and tightness demand solid intermediate to advanced rhythm skills.
