Notes
Studio recording for Black Sabbath tribute, 1994/1995. Dimebag's main studio rig for covers in this era. No evidence of live performance for this song. Signal chain likely included outboard EQ (Furman PQ-4, MXR 6-band) as per Dimebag's typical studio setup, but not confirmed for this exact recording.

The riff requires tight, consistent palm muting and aggressive picking to achieve the signature percussive metal sound, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or extreme speed.
