Notes

Studio recording, 1993. Kenny Hickey used a rack system with an early A/DA preamp and a Fender Quad Reverb for the Bloody Kisses album. Guitar is a Gibson SG, tuned to B Standard for this song. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff is moderately challenging due to the low tuning, need for tight palm muting, and maintaining clarity with high gain and heavy effects. The tempo is moderate, but the tone and groove require careful control.
