Notes
Studio recording for 'October Rust' (1996); Kenny Hickey used Fernandes guitars with EMG pickups, Mesa/Boogie Triaxis preamp and Simul-Class 2:90 power amp into Mesa 4x12 cabinets. Effects (chorus, delay, overdrive) were used for the riff section. Settings are for studio, not live.

Difficulty
The riff is moderately challenging due to the low tuning, palm muting, and need for tight rhythm with modulation, but does not require advanced lead techniques.
