Notes
Studio recording, 1995. Gear inferred from Equipboard and era-appropriate interviews. No direct confirmation of pedal use or alternate amp for clean section. Clean tone likely achieved by rolling down guitar volume and using amp's clean channel.

Difficulty
The riff is beginner-friendly with straightforward power chords and rhythm, but requires careful tuning and a relaxed feel to match the original's slightly loose, raw sound.
