Notes

Live performance, early 1980s (1981). Used with two Marshall 1960A/B 4x12 cabinets loaded with Altec 417-8H speakers. Rhoads used the bridge pickup with both volume and tone on 10. Distortion and EQ from pedals, not amp. Settings are for live tone as described in source.

Difficulty

The main riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking with tight palm muting and precise rhythm, making it challenging for most players.
