Notes

Live performance, 1970s era. Allen Collins played the main riff on a Gibson Firebird through a Marshall 1959T Super Tremolo head. No evidence of pedals in the riff section; amp provided all gain and reverb. Settings are based on period-correct Marshall use and direct source for Southern rock rhythm tone.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to syncopated chord work, double-stops, and dynamic picking, but does not involve advanced techniques or high speed.
