Notes

Live at the Riviera (2002), live performance. Dan Donegan used his Ibanez RG with EMG pickups and a Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier for the main heavy riff sections. Effects are minimal for the riff; distortion is from amp and signature Weapon pedal. No evidence of time-based or modulation effects in the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise rhythm at a moderate tempo, with some string skipping and power chord changes that demand intermediate control and stamina.
