No effects used for this tone

Notes

Studio recording for 'Americana' album, 1998. Gear inferred from era-accurate interviews, live photos, and genre conventions. No direct studio documentation found for this specific song, but Noodles was known for using Ibanez RG guitars with DiMarzio pickups and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier amps in the late 1990s. No evidence of pedal use in the riff section; distortion is amp-based.

Difficulty

The riff requires solid palm muting and precise timing at a moderate tempo, but uses straightforward power chords and no advanced techniques.
