Notes

Studio recording, 2001 album 'B.R.M.C.'; Peter Hayes is known to use the brown Epiphone Casino for this track. Amp is most likely a Fender Pro Reverb as per interviews, with heavy use of overdrive/distortion pedals. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section in the studio version.

Difficulty

The riff is moderately challenging due to its syncopated rhythm and need for consistent attack, but uses straightforward barre chords and does not require advanced techniques.
