Notes

Studio recording, 1992 (Core album). Dean DeLeo's main clean and rhythm guitar for the album was his '78 Les Paul Standard into a Demeter TGP-3 preamp and VHT Classic power amp, run stereo into two 4x12 cabs. Effects were minimal; chorus is sometimes used subtly. No pedalboard evidence for clean section, but chorus is audibly present on clean parts per multiple sources.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise muting and clean chord articulation, but is not technically demanding in terms of speed or advanced techniques.
