Notes
Studio recording, 1969. Ron Asheton used the Gibson Flying V for the main riff sections on the debut album. The amp was a Vox Super Beatle, as confirmed by multiple sources. No evidence of additional pedals or effects beyond fuzz for the riff section.

Difficulty
The riff is based on simple power chords with a repetitive, driving rhythm and heavy fuzz. The main challenge is maintaining the aggressive energy and tight timing, but the technical requirements are minimal.
