Notes

Studio recording for Korn's debut album (1994), Indigo Ranch Studios. Both Munky and Head used Ibanez Universe UV7 7-string guitars with DiMarzio Blaze pickups into Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier amps. No evidence of Peavey 5150 or Marshall JCM900 on 'Blind' studio recording; those were used later. No Les Paul on 'Blind' studio version.

Difficulty

The main riff requires precise, aggressive palm muting and tight rhythm, as well as familiarity with 7-string guitar and down-tuned playing. The physicality and groove are challenging for intermediate players.
