Notes

Studio recording, 2002 (Songs for the Deaf); confirmed use of Gretsch Spectra Sonic and Peavey PA head for main riff. Foxx Tone Machine fuzz pedal used on studio recording, not Fulltone Ultimate Octave (which is used live). No evidence of additional pedals or amp effects for riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight timing and aggressive picking to cut through the saturated fuzz, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo, making it intermediate.
