Notes

Studio recording for 'Invasion of Your Privacy' (1985). Warren DeMartini used a Charvel San Dimas with a Seymour Duncan RTM humbucker into a Marshall JCM800. Effects were minimal for the riff section; overdrive pedal (Boss SD-1 Super OverDrive) may have been used for added grit. No evidence of time-based or modulation effects on the main riff. Settings estimated based on typical 1980s glam metal studio practice and DeMartini's known rig for this album.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise palm muting, fast alternate picking, and tight rhythm to maintain clarity with high-gain distortion. The syncopated patterns and fast chord changes add to the intermediate-to-advanced difficulty.
