Notes
Live performance, early 1990s (circa 1991-1992). Guitar World and Premier Guitar confirm Clapton Strat with Lace Sensor Golds and Fender Bassman for both studio and live. No evidence of additional pedals for the riff section; Buddy Guy is known for a stripped-down rig for this song live.

Difficulty
The riff requires intermediate skill due to its dynamic volume control, shuffle feel, and touch-sensitive phrasing typical of Chicago blues, but does not involve advanced techniques or high speed.
