Notes

Studio recording, 2002 (Degradation Trip sessions). Cantrell is known to double-track with both his G&L Rampage and Gibson Les Paul Custom for rhythm parts. Gear confirmed for studio use, not live. Tuning is Eb standard. No direct evidence of pedal use for riff, but amp and cab chain is well documented for this era and album.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise rhythmic control, with some syncopation and dynamic shifts typical of Cantrell's style. Not technically advanced in terms of speed, but demands accuracy and feel.
