Notes

Studio recording for 'Mudshovel' (1999, Dysfunction album). Mike Mushok used the PRS Mike Mushok Signature SE Baritone for the riff section, as confirmed by Equipboard and interviews. The amp was a Diezel VH4, a high-gain modern tube amp. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the riff section; distortion is from the amp. Pickup selector likely set to bridge for maximum attack and clarity.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise palm muting, aggressive picking, and handling of a baritone guitar with heavy strings, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
