Notes

Studio recording, 1991/1992 original session re-mixed in 2007. The 2007 remix used the original guitar and amp tracks, not a re-recording. No evidence of live/touring gear or later signature amps being used for the remix. Effects and pedals inferred from era-appropriate sources and audible effects.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, fast alternate picking with palm muting, precise rhythmic accuracy, and advanced coordination for string skipping and rapid changes, making it challenging for most players.
