Notes

Studio recording for 'Here Come the Bastards' (Pork Soda, 1993). LaLonde used the JCM900 as his main amp for this album. Guitar model is inferred from era and typical studio photos; no direct source confirms the specific RG model for this track. Settings are estimated based on amp, genre, and era. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this song's riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive picking with precise muting and articulation, as well as control over effect-driven dynamics. The technical challenge is above average due to the rhythmic complexity and tone-shaping demands.
