Notes

Studio recording, 1992. Guitarist Jay Noel Yuenger used the Ibanez Iceman ICJ100WZ into a Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier for the riff section. No evidence of other guitars or amps used for the main riff in the studio. Pedal use is minimal; see effects section.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically tight and requires consistent palm muting and timing, but uses straightforward power chords and moderate tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
