Notes

Studio recording context inferred from gear used on 'Holy Ground' era (2021). Guitar is tuned down a whole step, .11–.50 strings. No explicit pedalboard evidence for riff section; focus is on amp and guitar. Settings estimated based on classic rock Marshall JMP usage and Doug Aldrich's stated preference for 'big, open sound'.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate-level control of palm muting, precise timing, and dynamic pick attack to achieve the punchy, articulate sound characteristic of Doug Aldrich's playing in The Dead Daisies.
