Notes

No direct evidence for exact guitar, pickups, or amp. The only song-specific source is a YouTube lesson for Ratt's 'You're In Trouble', which is a hard rock/metal track from the 1980s. All gear and settings are estimated based on genre, era, and typical studio practice for 1980s LA hard rock. Studio recording context assumed.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate picking and tight palm muting to maintain clarity and aggression, typical of 1980s hard rock/metal rhythm guitar. While not extremely technical, the tempo and articulation demand solid intermediate skills.
