Notes

Studio recording, 2023 (Orgy of the Damned album). Slash specifically states he used a Stratocaster for this track, which is rare for him. Amp is not explicitly named, but all evidence and tone descriptors point to a Marshall Plexi or similar British-style amp. No evidence of live rig or alternate gear for this section.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate-level blues-rock technique, with dynamic picking, muting, and expressive articulation, but does not involve advanced speed or complex chord voicings.
