Notes

Live performance, 'Live in Sao Paulo' (mid-2000s, 2006-2008 era). Kotzen did not have his usual Cornford amp for this show and used a Marshall JCM800 provided locally. Used a Japanese Sobot overdrive pedal for gain. No evidence of other pedals or effects for the riff section. All overdrive from pedal/amp, not from amp alone.

Difficulty

The riff section demands advanced control of dynamics and articulation, fast chord changes, and precise picking, making it challenging for most players.
