Notes

Studio recording for 'Dirt' album (1992). Jerry Cantrell used his G&L Rampage with a Duncan JB in the bridge, running into a modded Marshall JCM900, often layered with a Bogner Fish preamp and power amp. No evidence of live rig or other guitars/amps for this specific studio riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise rhythm control under high-gain settings, with syncopated patterns and clear articulation, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
