Notes
Studio recording, 1971. Clean riff section. No evidence of fuzz or heavy gain in this section. Typical for Gilmour's clean tones of the Meddle era. No evidence of chorus, flanger, or phaser in the clean riff section. Delay and reverb are present, likely from Binson Echorec and plate reverb.

Difficulty
The clean riff is not technically complex but requires careful control of picking dynamics, clean articulation, and timing with delay repeats to achieve the iconic atmospheric sound.
