Notes
Studio recording, 1976. For the 'Gimme Back My Bullets' album, Lynyrd Skynyrd switched to Peavey Mace amps for the studio. Allen Collins and Gary Rossington both tracked rhythm parts, often layering Les Pauls. No evidence of pedal use for the riff section; amp-only tone.

Difficulty
The riff is moderately challenging due to its syncopated rhythm and need for tight, punchy chord work, but does not require advanced lead techniques.
