Notes

Studio recording, 2001 (Second Stage Turbine Blade). No direct source confirms the exact amp/guitar for the clean riff, but period interviews and live rig rundowns indicate Les Paul + Marshall JCM800 was the core setup. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the clean section. No explicit pedalboard or amp settings found for the clean part.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires intermediate-level picking accuracy, dynamic control to maintain clarity, and precise chord voicings with some string skipping, but does not involve advanced techniques or high speed.
