Notes

No direct sources confirm the exact guitar or amp used on the studio recording of 'Sweet Pain' by Von Groove. The band was active in the early 1990s and played melodic hard rock/AOR, so a superstrat or Les Paul-style guitar with humbuckers into a Marshall-style amp is likely. All settings and gear are estimated based on genre, era, and typical production for this style. Studio recording, 1992.

Difficulty

The riff requires solid timing, palm muting, and articulation for clarity, but does not involve advanced techniques or high speed, making it intermediate.
