Notes

Studio recording, 1993 (remastered 2019). Gear inferred from Dean DeLeo's known studio use for 'Purple' era and forum discussions; no direct studio documentation for 'Unglued' but strong consensus for Les Paul + JCM800 for riff sections.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, precise power chord changes and tight palm muting at a high tempo, but does not involve advanced techniques or complex chord voicings.
