Notes

Studio recording, 1998 era, for the riff section of 'Freak On a Leash (Dante Ross Mix)'. Both Head and Munky used Ibanez 7-strings and Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier heads through Mesa 4x12 cabs. Effects confirmed from studio and era-specific sources. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and syncopated rhythm on a 7-string guitar, with precise dynamic control and occasional effect engagement, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
