Notes

Studio recording for 'Sehnsucht' album (1997). Richard Zven Kruspe used the ESP 901 with Seymour Duncan JB pickup into a Mesa/Boogie Mark IIC+ for the main riff sections. No evidence of additional pedals in the studio chain for the riff; distortion is primarily from the amp. Paul Landers' rig is not confirmed for this specific track, so only Kruspe's is included.

Difficulty

The riff is based on fast, tight palm-muted chugs and requires precise rhythm and aggressive picking, but does not involve advanced techniques or complex chord voicings.
