Notes
Studio recording, 1999. No direct source confirms the exact clean amp settings or pedal use for the clean riff, but the ESP Viper-301 with EMG pickups and Marshall Valvestate is widely cited as the main rig for this album. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the clean section.

The clean riff requires accurate chord voicings and smooth, even picking, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
