Notes

Studio recording, 1994 (original Diary album, remastered 2009); Dan Hoerner played the main riff section with this setup. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the riff section. Gear confirmed for studio era, not live/touring. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this part.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise timing, dynamic strumming, and control of open/distorted chords, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
