      That's a fact man! There is a RUclips program call Musicians react and I think it is now called deadwax and they break that riff down in an episode and it is fascinating to watch how it is actually played with a sort of banjo roll. I have never seen anybody play it right including myself. Mark is possibly the most underrated guitar genius on the planet. He's well known amongst us guitar players but he should be EVH popular

      Same here. I'm not a fan of the rest of the song's production. A phenomenal guitar piece laid over a track that sounds like it's coming from a Kawasaki One Man Jam. I enjoy the lyrics and vocal performances but I find the guitar much more interesting.

    I have an old MFM/RLL IBM PC hard drive that sounds like this (and a 360K floppy drive to go with it). You could probably redo this instrumental with one or both of them. The stepper motors are capable of making the same type of sound as the distorted electric guitar if you write directly to the drive controller to move the motor for the notes you want to produce.
