Pretty fun song to play with some classic Metallica vibes. Solo is an interesting one with it's mix of traditional blues licks and the more peculiar whammy bar dive bombs. I don't have a Floyd Rose guitar so had to make do with a strat copy I have. It held up, just barely!

The main riff can be a little tricky to get so as usual slow it down and break it up into smaller chunks and you'll get it down 🤘

There's also a lot of tempo changes in the song so it will take several listens to internalise them but there's nothing too jarring.
