Notes

No direct sources confirm the exact guitar or amp used on the original studio recording. Jimmy Hart & JJ Maguire were known for quick, budget-conscious studio sessions for wrestling themes in the early 1990s. Gear is likely to be a standard studio electric (Strat or Les Paul style) into a Marshall or similar amp. No evidence of live performance rig for this song. Year: 1992 (original release).

Difficulty

The riff is based on simple power chords and palm muting at a moderate tempo, with no complex techniques or fast passages, making it accessible to most beginner-to-intermediate players.
