Notes
Studio recording, 2002 (1919 Eternal album). No direct evidence for clean section gear, but all sources confirm this as Zakk Wylde's main studio rig for Black Label Society in this era. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for clean parts.

The clean riff requires accurate chord voicings and picking to maintain clarity with subtle chorus effect, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo.
