Notes
Studio recording, 2005-2006 (Audioslave 'Revelations' sessions). Tom Morello used his Telecaster in drop D for heavy riff sections. Amp and pedalboard are confirmed as unchanged from RATM through Audioslave. Settings are for studio, not live.

Difficulty
The riff requires precise palm muting, tight rhythm, and dynamic control to maintain clarity under high gain. While not technically advanced, the groove and articulation demand intermediate skill.
