Notes
Studio recording, 1969-1970. Gear confirmed for the original '25 Or 6 To 4' single recording session. No evidence of pedal use for the riff section; fuzz is sometimes speculated for the solo, but not the riff.

Difficulty
The riff requires intermediate-level control of muting, timing, and dynamic pick attack to achieve the classic crunch and drive of the original recording.
