Notes
Studio recording, 2003. PRS NF3 confirmed for '45' riff by Premier Guitar. Marshall JCM800s cited as 'workhorses' for the album. Some evidence of small combo amps in studio, but JCM800 is most likely for main riff. No evidence of pedals or effects used on riff section.

The riff requires tight palm muting and precise rhythm, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
