Notes
Studio recording, 1991-1992. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for clean sections on this album. Dimebag was known for using the bridge pickup for most rhythm parts, but clean sections may use neck or combined positions. No direct evidence of alternate amp for clean tone.

Difficulty
The clean riff requires precise palm muting and fast, tight picking to maintain clarity and punch at high tempo, but does not involve advanced chord voicings or complex techniques.
