Notes

Studio recording for 'Ashes to Ashes' (Album of the Year, 1997). Guitarist: Jon Hudson. Guitar and amp confirmed by forum and gear rundown sources. No evidence of pedals or additional effects for riff section; amp distortion used. Settings estimated based on typical Mark III usage for heavy alternative rock in the late 1990s.

Difficulty

The riff is moderately challenging due to its tight, percussive palm muting and rhythmic precision, but does not require advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
