Notes

Studio recording, 1997 debut album. Main rhythm/riff tones tracked with Marshall Plexi; Fender amps and other guitars were used elsewhere but not for this riff. No evidence of pedal-based distortion—amp overdrive preferred. Pickup and amp choices confirmed by multiple sources for the album's riff sections.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise timing and dynamic picking to maintain clarity and groove, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
