Notes

Studio recording, 1990 (Crazy World album). Matthias Jabs is known for using a heavily modded Stratocaster with a DiMarzio humbucker in the bridge and Marshall JCM800 amps for heavy rhythm tones in this era. No direct source confirms the exact gear for this song, but this is consistent with all available interviews and live footage from the Crazy World sessions.

Difficulty

The riff requires solid palm muting and tight rhythm playing, but uses straightforward power chords and moderate tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
