Notes

Studio recording, 1994-1995. Slash is widely documented to use his Kris Derrig Les Paul replica with Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro pickups and a Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555 for Slash's Snakepit recordings, including 'Be the Ball'. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section of this song. Studio context.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate picking and tight palm muting at a high tempo, with syncopated chord changes that demand good right-hand control and timing.
