Notes

Studio recording, 1995. Guitar: ESP 901 with EMG pickups (modded by Kruspe pre-1997). Amp: Marshall 9001 preamp into Marshall Valvestate 8100 head, as used on Herzeleid. No evidence of pedals or additional effects for the riff section. Settings estimated based on typical 1990s Rammstein studio setup and genre.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, fast palm muting and precise alternate picking at a high tempo, demanding good right-hand control and timing for a clean, percussive metal rhythm.
