Notes
Studio recording, 1993-94. Jerry Cantrell used his G&L Rampage with a single Seymour Duncan JB humbucker into a Bogner Ecstasy 100B for the clean riff sections. No evidence of pedal use for clean tone; effects are likely from amp or studio. Settings estimated due to lack of direct source.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight rhythmic accuracy and dynamic control for clean articulation, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo.
