Notes

Studio recording, 1995 (Pet Your Friends album). Gear confirmed for heavy/distorted sections by Guitar Chalk. Some sources mention Marshall JCM800/JCM900 as alternatives, but Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier is most directly tied to the album's driven tones. Pedals used for additional drive and modulation.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight timing and palm muting with some syncopation, but uses standard power chords and moderate tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
