Notes

Studio recording, 1994; Josh Homme used the Ovation Ultra GP with DiMarzio pickups into a Tube Works RT-2100 head and Ampeg SVT-810AV bass cab for the riff section of 'Demon Cleaner'. No fuzz pedal was used; all gain from amp. No evidence of additional pedals or effects in the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive picking and palm muting in a down-tuned setting, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
