Notes

Studio recording, 1973. Toy Caldwell is widely reported to have used a Gibson ES-335 into two Fender Twin Reverbs for the original studio riff section of 'Can't You See'. No evidence of pedal use for the riff section; amp reverb likely engaged. No evidence of live/touring substitutions for the studio version.

Difficulty

The riff is based on open chords and steady strumming, with moderate attention to dynamics and articulation, making it accessible to most players with basic rhythm skills.
