Notes

Studio recording, 1974 (Physical Graffiti sessions). All information is for the studio version, riff section, clean tone. No explicit evidence of pedals or effects for the clean section; most sources focus on the heavier/distorted sound. Guitar and amp inferred from era/session documentation and typical Page setups for this album.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate-level control of timing and muting, with a clean attack and dynamic picking for clarity. Not technically advanced, but demands precision and groove.
