Notes

Studio recording, 1986. Doyle used a custom Ibanez Iceman with a high-output humbucker (likely DiMarzio Super Distortion) into an Acoustic 150 solid-state head and Marshall 4x12 cab. No pedalboard or effects except amp distortion. No evidence of additional pedals or effects on the original recording. Settings estimated from era, genre, and Doyle's known approach. No reverb or time-based effects used.

Difficulty

The riff is fast and requires tight, aggressive downstrokes and palm muting, but uses simple power chords and straightforward rhythm, making it challenging for beginners but manageable for intermediate players.
