Notes

Studio recording, 1993, Individual Thought Patterns album. Chuck Schuldiner used a Stealth Jackson Soloist with an XN2 bridge pickup into a Marshall Valvestate 8100. Some sources mention a Boss DS-1 as a possible boost, but no direct evidence for this specific song. No evidence of time-based or modulation effects in the riff section. Settings estimated based on genre, era, and amp model.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to its speed, aggressive palm muting, and precise timing, but does not involve advanced techniques like sweep picking or complex chord voicings.
