From Badmotorfinger (1991). A heavy, sludgy grunge riff from Badmotorfinger, with a thick rhythm guitar and a swaggering mid-tempo feel. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Guild S-100 Polara through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier stands in. Set the amp at a high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
