Notes
Studio recording, 1996-1997. Richard Z. Kruspe used his ESP Eclipse prototype with EMG pickups into a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier. Clean parts would use the amp's clean channel, no evidence of SansAmp or Flyrig for studio clean tones on this track.

Difficulty
The clean riff is straightforward with open voicings and medium tempo, but requires precise timing and clean picking for the industrial feel.
