Studio recording, 1996. Guitar used for entire song including riff. No distortion pedal; all gain from amp. Effects loop used for pedals. Pickup selection and volume knob manipulation are key to tone.

aggressive wah-wah filtered rifftight, focused low endmid-forward punchcutting high-frequency edgepercussive, staccato attackdry, unprocessed amp sounddynamic volume swellscrisp, articulate pick attacksyncopated, hip-hop influenced rhythmminimal ambient effects
Difficulty
The riff requires intermediate to advanced control of wah pedal, creative toggle switch use for stutter effects, and tight, aggressive picking with syncopated rhythms. Not technically virtuosic, but demanding in timing, coordination, and dynamic control.
