Notes

Studio recording, 1988-1989. Rick Hunolt played the main riff on the album using his 1988 Ibanez 540S through a Marshall JCM800 2203. No evidence of live/tour gear or other guitars/amps being used for the studio rhythm track. No evidence of additional rack gear or multi-amp setups for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking and tight palm muting at a high tempo, demanding both technical precision and stamina typical of advanced thrash rhythm guitar.
