Notes
Live performance, 'Foghat Live' album (recorded 1977, released 1977). No direct source confirms exact serials, but period photos and era-typical gear confirm Les Paul + Marshall stack for clean/riff sections. No evidence of pedal use for clean tone.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight shuffle rhythm, clean articulation, and dynamic picking to maintain clarity without overdriving the amp. Not technically difficult, but requires good timing and control.
