Ibanez RG 770 DX
Parker Nitefly SA
Line6 POD 2.0

(Clean sound: Fender amp simulations with short stereo delay / Lead sound: Soldano amp simulations with delay & reverb)

One can hardly find a simpler song than this. This one and only riff is repeated over and over again, resulting in a heavy and easily-digestable song. However, getting the downstrokes up to speed is a bit tricky.

The riff requires drop D tuning (tune down the thick E string to D), and is played without guitar in the intro and verse (only keyboard).

Palm muting is applied on the low E string, and on the last three pick strokes (third fret).
