Notes

Studio recording for 'Sweetness' (Bleed American, 2001). Jim Adkins used his signature Fender JA-90 Telecaster with P-90s into a Marshall JMP 1979. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the main riff; Axe-FX and other amps are for later/live use.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, consistent alternate picking and tight palm muting with syncopated accents, but uses straightforward power chord shapes and no advanced techniques.
