Notes

Studio recording, 1989-1990. The main riff section features a clean tone with subtle chorus, achieved by running the Les Paul into a clean JTM45 and using a Marshall The Guv'nor pedal for overdrive on melodic/solo sections only. For the riff, the amp is set clean and chorus is likely from a Roland SDD-320 Dimension D rack unit. Pickup is neck position. Effects chain and settings are based on studio sources and contemporary interviews, not live or later performances.

Difficulty

While the riff is not technically complex, it demands precise dynamic control, clean articulation, and expressive phrasing to capture the feel and tone of the original recording.
