Notes

Studio recording, 1987-1988. Guitar and amp confirmed by Equipboard and video evidence for this specific song. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the riff section; focus is on amp distortion. Pickup selection inferred from typical glam metal rhythm tone and video evidence of bridge pickup use.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, fast palm muting and precise right-hand technique at a brisk tempo, but uses standard power chords and straightforward rhythm patterns.
