Notes

Studio recording, 1992 (Core album). Dean DeLeo used the Demeter TGP-3 preamp and VHT power amp for the clean tones on Core. Guitar is confirmed as a late-70s Les Paul Standard. No evidence of pedal use for clean sections; effects are likely from amp or rack. Pickup selector set to bridge for clarity in clean passages.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise, clean picking and dynamic control to maintain clarity and articulation, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo.
