Notes

Studio recording, 1990. Gear confirmed for Cowboys from Hell album sessions. Riff section uses bridge pickup. No evidence of additional pedals for main riff; EQ and flanger/doubler used in rack for tone shaping, but not always engaged for riff. No time-based or modulation effects audible on main riff.

Difficulty

The main riff requires tight palm muting, precise alternate picking, and syncopated rhythm, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
