Notes
Studio recording, 1993. Gear confirmed for this era and album. Fulltone Ultimate Octave fuzz was specifically used on 'Hoinfodaman' riff for Neil Young-style breakup. No evidence of live/touring substitutions for this part.

Difficulty
The riff is moderately challenging due to its syncopation and need for dynamic control with a fuzz pedal, but does not require advanced techniques or fast playing.
