Notes

Studio recording, early 1990s. Sources indicate use of a Gibson-style guitar with a DiMarzio Super Distortion in the neck, Peavey Classic 20 or similar amp, and pedals including Boss SD-1 and Boss GE-7. Settings and gear inferred from Kyuss-era Josh Homme rig, as no direct info for KSU '1944 1' is available. No evidence of additional effects beyond overdrive and EQ for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight rhythm playing in a low tuning with dynamic palm muting and a strong sense of groove, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo.
