Effects & Signal Chain

Notes

Studio recording, 1972-1973. Keith Richards played the main riff on a Gibson Hummingbird acoustic, mic'd in the studio. No electric guitar or amp was used for the riff section. No pedals or outboard effects in the guitar signal chain; any reverb is likely from room or mixing, not from amp or pedal.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate fingerstyle technique, nuanced chord transitions, and expressive dynamics, making it challenging for beginners but accessible to intermediate players with some experience in acoustic picking.
