Notes

Studio recording, circa 1999. Gear confirmed for Oleander's guitarist Ric Ivanisevich by Guitar World interview, but settings and pedal usage for this specific song/section are not directly cited. Pedalboard for the era included Boss DS-1 Overdrive, Vox wah, compressor, delay, and MXR 10-band EQ. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this song's riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires solid palm muting and rhythmic accuracy, but uses straightforward power chords and moderate tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
