Notes

Studio recording, 1979-1980 for 'Is This Real?'. Guitar is confirmed as a Gibson SG with Bigsby. Amp is inferred from era and genre; no direct source confirms exact amp, but Fender Twin Reverb is most likely based on Portland punk scene and period. No evidence of pedals or effects used in the riff section; tone is raw and direct.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, fast downstroke strumming and aggressive rhythm, but uses simple chord shapes and no advanced techniques.
