Notes

Studio recording, 2023. Joey Walker and Stu Mackenzie both used Fender Hot Rod DeVille amps for heavy riff sections on 'Gila Monster'. Guitar choice confirmed by Premier Guitar rig rundown and live footage from the album era. No evidence of alternate guitars for riff section. Pedalboard and amp settings inferred from era and genre; no direct studio knob settings found.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight alternate picking and palm muting at a high tempo, with syncopated rhythms and precise timing. While not extremely technical, the speed and tightness demand intermediate to advanced control.
