Notes

Studio recording, 2000 (Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water). Wes Borland used Ibanez 7-strings and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier for clean and heavy tones. No direct evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the clean riff section. No evidence of live-specific gear for this part.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires precise, percussive picking and muting to maintain clarity and groove, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast runs.
