Notes
Studio recording, 1989/1990, for the album 'Still Got The Blues'. Gear confirmed by Guitar World and Equipboard. No pedals used for main riff, just guitar and amp per interview. Effects are likely rack or studio-based for subtle chorus/reverb.

The riff requires intermediate to advanced control of vibrato, sustain, and expressive phrasing, but is not technically fast or complex in terms of note density.
