Notes

Studio recording, 1987; no direct source confirms exact guitar/amp for 'Freedom' riff, but period-correct Alice Cooper band gear and genre/era analysis strongly indicate Les Paul Custom into Marshall JCM800 for main riff. No evidence of pedal use for main riff section; likely straight into amp.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, fast alternate picking and precise palm muting at a brisk tempo, but does not involve advanced techniques or complex chord voicings.
