Notes

Studio recording, 2001-2002. No direct source confirms the exact Les Paul model or amp for 'Siberian Kiss', but era and genre context, plus band interviews and live photos, strongly indicate Les Paul + Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier for the riff section. No evidence of pedal use for the main riff; distortion is likely amp-based.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, aggressive alternate picking with precise palm muting and tight rhythmic control, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
