Notes
Studio recording, 1987. No direct evidence of pedals or effects for the clean riff. Gear inferred from era, genre, and Raul Seixas' known studio equipment. Focus is on the clean rhythm/riff section, not the solo.

Difficulty
The riff section is easy to play, with simple chord voicings and a steady rhythm, but requires clean articulation and timing for the classic sound.
