Notes

Studio recording, 2007 remaster of original 1993 session. Jimmy Bower and Brian Patton both used solid state amps (Ampeg SS-150, sometimes Randall or Peavey) with Boss SD-1 overdrive for core riff tone. No evidence of additional effects or reverb in the riff section. Gear confirmed for classic NOLA sludge era, not live/touring rig.

Difficulty

The riff is moderately challenging due to the down-tuned, heavy picking and palm muting required for the sludgy tone, but does not involve complex chord shapes or fast tempo.
