Notes

Studio recording for 'The One You Know' (2018, Rainier Fog album). Jerry Cantrell is known to use his G&L Rampage with a single bridge humbucker for heavy riff sections. The amp is a Marshall JCM800 with Bogner modifications, as confirmed for Cantrell's signature rhythm tones. Settings are based on Cantrell's typical studio rig for modern Alice In Chains, not live or earlier albums.

fat, saturated distortiontight and percussivemid-scooped but presentdark and broodingaggressive attackpowerful and resonantcrunchy rhythmslightly loose low endarticulate palm mutingminor-key heaviness

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, percussive palm muting, aggressive pick attack, and precise muting to maintain clarity under high gain. While not extremely fast, the articulation and rhythmic accuracy make it moderately challenging.
