Notes

Studio recording for 'Dragula' (1998). John 5 played the riff section using his signature Telecaster with high-output humbucker in the bridge, into a Marshall JVM210H. No direct evidence of pedal use for the riff, but heavy amp gain and possibly a noise gate for tightness. No evidence of time-based or modulation effects on the riff. Settings estimated based on genre, amp, and era. Studio context.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically tight and requires fast, consistent palm muting and pick attack, but uses straightforward power chords and does not involve advanced techniques.
