Notes

Studio recording, 1967. Sources indicate a Gibson ES-335 was used for the main riff, plugged directly into a Fender Blackface Deluxe Reverb amp. No pedals were used for the clean rhythm/riff section. Settings estimated based on typical studio use and genre/era. No evidence of live/touring gear or alternate guitars for this section.

Difficulty

The riff section is accessible for most players, requiring clean open chord changes and a steady, syncopated strumming pattern. The main challenge is maintaining dynamic control and clarity throughout.
