Notes

Studio recording for 'The End' (2024/2025), Mammoth WVH. Wolfgang Van Halen confirmed use of the EVH 5150 III 50-watt 6L6 head for both live and studio during this album's era. Pedal use in the studio was experimental and varied, but for the main riff/distorted rhythm, the core tone is amp-driven. No evidence of additional drive pedals for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise picking at a moderately fast tempo, with syncopated rhythms that demand good timing and control.
