Notes
Live performance, mid-late 1990s. No direct source for Lukin live rig, but Pearl Jam's live setup for heavy riffing songs in this era is well-documented as Les Paul into Marshall JCM800. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this song/section.

Difficulty
While the riff is based on straightforward power chords, the fast tempo and need for tight, aggressive picking and rhythmic accuracy make it moderately challenging for beginners.
