Notes

Studio recording, 1995. Josh Homme was known for using the Ovation Ultra GP almost exclusively during Kyuss, and Tube Works heads into Ampeg bass cabs for the massive riff tone. No evidence of pedal use for distortion; amp distortion is primary. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this song/section.

Difficulty

The riff is not technically complex in terms of note choice, but requires tight timing, stamina, and control to maintain clarity and groove at high volume and gain.
