Notes

Studio recording for 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)' (1995 cover, released 1995/1996). Daisy Berkowitz played the riff section. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the main riff. No pedalboard photos or official rig rundown for this session. All gear inferred from era, interviews, and genre conventions.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically straightforward but requires tight palm muting, aggressive picking, and precise timing to achieve the signature industrial metal feel.
