Notes

Studio context inferred; Scott Lucas uses a unique guitar/bass split rig, but for the riff section the SG Standard into Matchless Superchief is most likely. No evidence of Bush or Gavin Rossdale using this exact setup, but the question refers to Local H's sound for 'Eddie Vedder Local H' (riff). Year/era: mid-late 1990s. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this specific riff section. Settings estimated based on genre, amp type, and era.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight palm muting and aggressive attack for the signature crunch, but the technique is accessible to intermediate players. The challenge lies in maintaining rhythmic precision and dynamic punch.
