Notes
Studio recording, 1974. Angus Young's main guitar and amp for early AC/DC. No pedals used in the riff section; signal path is guitar straight into amp. No evidence of effects loop or studio effects on the riff. Settings estimated based on era, genre, and typical Angus Young setup for this period.

The riff is based on straightforward power chords and rhythm playing, but requires tight timing, strong pick attack, and dynamic control to achieve the classic AC/DC crunch.
