Notes

Studio recording for '10,000 Days (Wings, Pt. 2)' (2006). Adam Jones used a blend of amps, with the Diezel VH4's Channel 3 for high headroom cleans, and the Marshall and Bogner for additional tonal color. Guitar World and Equipboard confirm the Les Paul Custom with SH-4 JB in the bridge position. Settings estimated for the clean section, as no direct numeric values are available for the clean tone. Effects chain includes a Gig-FX Chopper tremolo pedal, which is confirmed by multiple sources for this album.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires precise timing to match the tremolo modulation, dynamic control for clarity, and accurate chord voicings, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
