Notes

Studio recording, 1965. Gear for 'In My Life' is not officially documented, but period-correct sources and session photos indicate Harrison used his 1964 Gibson SG Standard through a Vox AC100 or AC30. No evidence of pedals or effects other than possible amp reverb. No fuzz or modulation effects audible in the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires clean, accurate picking and smooth chord transitions, but does not involve advanced techniques or high speed, making it accessible to intermediate players.
