Notes

Studio recording, 1980. Greg Ginn used his Ampeg Dan Armstrong Plexi guitar into a solid-state Peavey amp for the Jealous Again EP. No evidence of pedals or additional effects for the riff section; tone is amp-driven. Pickup selector set to bridge for maximum bite. No evidence of reverb or time-based effects in the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff is fast and requires tight, aggressive downstrokes and palm muting, but uses simple power chords and straightforward rhythm, making it accessible to intermediate players.
