Notes

Studio recording, 1996 (Ænima album). Adam Jones is confirmed to have used his Les Paul Custom and Diezel VH4 for clean and dirty tones on Ænima. Some sources mention Sunn Beta Lead for certain tracks, but the Diezel VH4 is the primary amp for clean tones on Pushit. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this section.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires tight palm muting, precise timing to match delay repeats, and dynamic control for volume swells, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
