Notes

Studio recording, Abbey Road, 1969. George Harrison played the riff section on his 'Rocky' Stratocaster through a Vox UL730 hybrid amp. No evidence of pedals or additional effects used on the riff section. The Moog synthesizer is present in the arrangement but not on the guitar track.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced fingerpicking technique, precise timing, and muting, as well as familiarity with capoed chord shapes, making it challenging for most players.
