Notes

Studio recording, 1984-1985. Geordie Walker plugged the ES-295 directly into an Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man, then into two Burman Pro 2000 heads (High Frequency switch: On), each into custom Burman 8x10 cabs. No amp reverb used; ambience from room miking. All settings from studio session, not live.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, consistent picking and rhythmic accuracy to maintain clarity through heavy modulation and delay effects, but does not involve advanced lead techniques.
