Notes
Studio recording, 1997-1998. Gear confirmed for debut album sessions. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the main riff. Live rigs and later tours used different gear.
Tone Character(10)
thick and saturated fuzzraw and aggressive attackmid-heavy punchloose, gritty low endslightly compressed sustainpercussive and staccato riffingnotably dry with minimal reverbdistinctive stoner/desert rock fuzztight, focused rhythmarticulate note separation
Difficulty
The riff requires tight, percussive picking and palm muting, but is not technically complex in terms of fretwork or speed. The main challenge is maintaining the groove and articulation.
