Notes

Studio recording, 1994. Ty Tabor used the Strat Elite's active mid-boost and ran into a Lab Series L5 (solid-state) head, often paired with a MESA/Boogie power amp for extra headroom and punch. Effects included stereo chorus, pitch detune, and flanger. Settings below are from Guitar World, referencing studio rhythm tone for 'Dogman' era.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced rhythmic precision, use of drop D tuning, and clarity in high-gain settings with single-coil pickups, as well as mastery of double-stop chord voicings and tight, percussive picking.
