Notes

Studio recording for 'Goat' (1991). Denison used his Travis Bean TB1000S into a Hiwatt DR103 Custom 100 head with a Fane 4x12 cab. No evidence of live/touring substitutions or alternate amps for this album. No evidence of extensive pedal use for the main riff section; Denison is noted for minimal pedal use in this era.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, syncopated picking, precise muting, and dynamic control to maintain clarity and articulation at a medium tempo with a loud, aggressive tone.
