Notes
Studio recording, 1969 (Let It Be sessions). John Lennon played the main riff on his Epiphone Casino through a Fender Twin Reverb. No evidence of pedals or outboard effects for the riff section. This is the studio version, not the rooftop live performance.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight rhythmic accuracy, dynamic picking, and clean muting to achieve the punchy, percussive sound. While not technically advanced, it demands control and groove.
