Notes

Studio recording, 1997. Guitar and amp inferred from Wes Borland's known gear at the time of 'Three Dollar Bill, Yall$'. No direct studio photo evidence, but all available interviews and era-appropriate gear lists point to Ibanez RG and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier for heavy riff sections. No evidence of live rig (EVH/Fender) being used on the original studio recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate-level right hand technique for tight palm muting and rhythmic precision, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
