Notes

Studio recording, 1982, Screaming for Vengeance album. Riff section tracked with Hamer Standard (KK Downing) and Gibson SG (Glenn Tipton) into Marshall JCM800 2203s, hard-panned. No pedals used for the main riff; direct amp tone. Pickup selector set to bridge. No evidence of effects loop or additional pedals for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate-level technique due to the need for tight palm muting, precise alternate picking, and maintaining a consistent aggressive attack to match the percussive, articulate tone of the original recording.
