Notes

Studio recording for 'Them Bones' (1992, Dirt album). Jerry Cantrell used his G&L Rampage with a single humbucker, running into a Bogner Fish preamp and a Marshall JCM800 modded by Bogner, often blended with a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this section.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, aggressive alternate picking with tight palm muting and precise rhythm changes, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
