Notes
Live performance, early 1990s (circa 1990-1992). Jerry Cantrell's main live rig for this era was the G&L Rampage into a Marshall JCM900, often with a Bogner Fish preamp in the studio but JCM900 was primary live. Settings and effects are based on live performance context.

Difficulty
The riff requires solid palm muting, precise timing, and dynamic picking to achieve the punchy, percussive sound characteristic of Cantrell's playing. While not technically advanced, the tone and feel demand intermediate control.
