Notes

Studio recording for 'Man In the Box' (1990/91). Jerry Cantrell used his G&L Rampage with a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge into a Marshall JCM800 modified by Bogner. No evidence of live/touring substitutions for the original recording. No evidence of multi-amp blending for this track.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically straightforward but requires precise palm muting, aggressive picking, and tight timing to achieve the signature percussive attack and groove.
