Notes

Studio recording, 1976. Main riff section. Rory Gallagher's battered 1961 Stratocaster into a Vox AC30, pushed with a Dallas Rangemaster Treble Booster. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the riff section. Settings and signal chain based on period-correct sources and direct references to his studio rig for this era.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate technique due to its dynamic picking, control of breakup via guitar volume, and syncopated blues-rock phrasing. Articulation and muting are essential for the authentic feel.
