Notes

Studio recording, 1976-77; main riff tracked with Ibanez Artist 2663TC (Iceman IC210) using Triple-Coil pickup in setting 3 (all three coils in series), plugged directly into a Fender Super Reverb. No evidence of pedals or outboard effects on the riff section. Overdubs used a Fender Champ, but main riff is Super Reverb. Master Volume and Tone on guitar both set to 10.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight timing, clean articulation, and some quick slides/string skipping, but is manageable for intermediate players with basic rock technique.
