Notes
Studio recording, 1986. Guitar World interview confirms the red Kramer from the 'Shake Me' video was used for the song. Forum discussions consistently cite the Marshall 2203 as the amp, with a Boss OD pedal as a boost. No evidence of other guitars or amps for the riff section.

Difficulty
The riff requires fast alternate picking and tight palm muting at a brisk tempo, demanding good right-hand control and timing, but uses standard rock techniques without advanced complexity.
