Notes
Studio recording, 1976-1977 (album released 1977). No evidence of pedals or effects other than amp overdrive and possible light spring reverb. Guitar and amp inferred from era, genre, and Rick Brewster's known gear at the time. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for the riff section.

The riff is straightforward but requires tight rhythm, consistent pick attack, and good muting technique to achieve the punchy, driving sound.
