Notes

Studio recording, 1990. Gear inferred from Equipboard and era-typical interviews; no direct studio documentation for this song's riff section. Both Erik Turner and Joey Allen used Carvin X-100B amps and Superstrat-style guitars with humbuckers for the Cherry Pie album sessions.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight palm muting, dynamic control, and precise rhythm playing typical of glam metal, but does not involve advanced techniques or high speed.
