Notes

Studio recording, 2005 (Rosenrot album). Guitar and pickup confirmed for Rammstein studio work of this era, but exact amp model for 'Te quiero puta!' not explicitly confirmed in sources. No evidence of pedal use for the riff section; distortion is likely from amp or rackmount preamp.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise alternate picking at a fast tempo, but does not involve complex chord shapes or advanced lead techniques.
