Notes
Studio recording for 'Reinventing the Steel' (2000). Gear confirmed for album sessions, not live. Dimebag's signature Washburn Stealth and Randall Warhead amp were used for rhythm tracks. No evidence of pedal use for riff section; Dimebag often ran straight into the amp for rhythm.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise alternate picking at a moderate tempo, with syncopated rhythms typical of groove metal. While not technically extreme, the precision and stamina required make it challenging for intermediate players.
