Notes
Studio recording, 1997, album 'As Good as Dead'. Scott Lucas is known for his unique dual-output Telecaster, splitting guitar and bass signals. No evidence of pedal use for distortion; amp likely cranked for overdrive. No explicit studio pedalboard info found for this song/era.

Difficulty
The riff is moderately challenging due to its tight, aggressive picking and palm muting, but uses straightforward power chords and rhythm, making it accessible for intermediate players.
