Notes

Studio recording, 2003. Gear inferred from era, band lineup (John 5/Tim Skold), and genre. No direct studio photo or interview confirms exact amp/pickup, but Les Paul + Marshall stack is standard for this album and band at the time. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section of 'mOBSCENE'.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically tight and requires aggressive palm muting and precise timing, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
