Notes

Studio recording, 1990. No direct evidence of alternate guitar or amp for the clean section; Dimebag was known to use the same rig for both clean and distorted parts, rolling back volume for cleans. No evidence of a separate clean amp or channel. Settings and effects for clean section are inferred from era, genre, and typical Dimebag practices.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires accurate picking and muting to maintain clarity, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
