Notes
Studio recording, 1969. Gear confirmed for 'Get Back' riff section by multiple sources; Harrison played the riff on the SG through the Vox Conqueror with built-in fuzz. The fuzz circuit is parallel to the clean tone. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the riff section.

Difficulty
The riff is rhythmically tight and requires good timing and dynamic control to achieve the crunchy, percussive tone, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
