Notes

Studio recording for 'Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water' (2000). Guitar is a heavily modified Ibanez Musician MC150PW, used for main riff sections. Diezel VH4 amp is confirmed as a primary studio amp for this era and album. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars/amps for this specific recording. Effects are based on studio usage and what is audible in the recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, percussive palm muting and precise timing, with syncopated rhythms and low tuning adding to the technical challenge. While not extremely fast, the articulation and rhythmic complexity push it above intermediate difficulty.
