Notes

Studio recording for 'Rotten Apple' (Jar of Flies, 1993); Jerry Cantrell is known to have used his G&L Rampage into a Marshall JCM800 for most of the Jar of Flies sessions. No direct evidence of pedal use for the riff section; most sources reference amp distortion and minimal effects for this part.

Difficulty

The riff is slow and not technically demanding, but requires careful timing, wide chord shapes, and dynamic picking to capture the song's feel.
