Notes

Studio recording, 1990. Gear confirmed for the album sessions. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for the riff section. Guitar is most likely the ESP Skulls & Snakes with a Screamin' Demon bridge humbucker, into a Soldano SLO-100 head. No evidence of boost/OD pedals for the riff, and sources note minimal effects/overdubs for rhythm tracks.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced palm muting, precise alternate picking, and tight rhythmic control to maintain clarity and punch under high-gain settings.
