Notes

Studio recording, not live. Recording year: 2004 (original), but this is for the 2025 Mix, which is likely a remaster/remix of the original studio session. No evidence of different gear for the 2025 Mix. Gear inferred from era-accurate interviews and forum discussions about the original recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking and tight palm muting at a high tempo, demanding good right-hand control and stamina.
