Notes
Studio recording for 'Raw Power' album, tracked in 1972-1973. James Williamson switched from Marshall stack to Vox AC30 Top Boost for the album due to better studio results. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this riff section.

Difficulty
The riff is rhythmically straightforward but requires a strong, aggressive picking hand and dynamic control to achieve the raw, percussive tone. No advanced techniques, but energy and attack are critical.
