Notes

Studio recording, 1995 (Ozzmosis album). Zakk Wylde is known for using his Gibson Les Paul Custom with EMG pickups and Marshall JCM 800 for Ozzy's 1990s studio work. No direct source confirms the exact serial/model for this song, but this is the established rig for this era and album. No evidence of pedal use for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires solid control of pinch harmonics, tight palm muting, and aggressive picking, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
