Notes
Studio recording for 'White Pony' (2000). Gear confirmed for album era; JMP-1 preamp into Marshall power amp is widely cited for this period. No evidence of live/touring substitutions for the original recording. Guitar is 7-string ESP Stef B-7 with passive Seymour Duncan Distortion bridge pickup.

Difficulty
The riff requires precise palm muting and dynamic control to maintain clarity and tightness with high-gain saturation on a 7-string guitar. The wall-of-sound effect and chord voicings add to the technical challenge.
