Notes

Studio recording for '3's & 7's' (Era Vulgaris, 2007). Guitar and amp confirmed by user and gear sources; pedalboard details inferred from era-correct pedalboard listings and forum posts. No explicit studio photo of pedalboard for this song, but Q-Zone and PDF-1X are consistently cited for Homme's riff tones in this era.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, precise alternate picking and tight palm muting, with aggressive attack and syncopated rhythms that demand good right-hand control and timing.
