Notes
Studio recording, 1994. Josh Homme used the Ovation Ultra GP with DiMarzio Super Distortion pickups into a vintage Ampeg V-4 head for the 'Demon Cleaner' riff. No evidence of live/touring substitutions for this section.

Difficulty
The riff is moderately challenging due to the need for tight palm muting, control of heavy fuzz, and playing in a lower tuning, but does not require advanced lead techniques.
