Notes

Studio recording, 1992. No direct source confirms the exact gear for this song's riff, but Nuno Bettencourt is widely documented using the Washburn N4 and Marshall Super Lead for the III Sides to Every Story album. No evidence of pedal use for the riff section; Nuno is known for plugging straight into the amp for rhythm parts.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced right-hand technique, tight palm muting, and precise timing, making it challenging for most players.
