Notes
Live rooftop performance, January 30, 1969. George Harrison played the Rosewood Telecaster through a Fender Twin Reverb Silverface amp. No evidence of pedals or outboard effects for the riff section; amp reverb likely used. Settings estimated based on era, amp, and genre.

Difficulty
The riff requires intermediate skill due to its syncopated 3/4 rhythm, precise single-note picking, and dynamic control to maintain clarity and punch without overdriving the amp.
