Notes

Studio recording, 2005 (Transylvania 90210 album). No direct source confirms exact gear for this song, but Wednesday 13's sound is described as between White Zombie and AC/DC, suggesting a high-gain Marshall setup with a Les Paul-style guitar. No evidence of pedals or effects beyond amp distortion for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically straightforward but requires tight palm muting, consistent power chord changes, and aggressive picking to match the song's energy.
