Notes

Studio recording, 1984, 'Reckless' album. Guitarist: Keith Scott. No evidence of pedals used for the main riff; tone is amp-driven. Some forum speculation about Marshall amps, but Vox AC30 is most directly cited for this song's riff. No evidence of live/touring rig for this specific recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires confident open chord strumming with a crunchy, articulate tone and dynamic control, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
