Notes
Studio recording, 1999 (Vol. 1 album). Some sources mention Marshall JCM900 4100 as a secondary amp, but Mesa/Boogie Mark V is most cited for the main riff. No evidence of live/tour gear being used on the original recording.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, syncopated picking with palm muting and precise timing, as well as clean articulation while using an octave pedal. The technical challenge is above average due to the pedal use and rhythmic complexity.
