Notes
Studio recording, 1976. All evidence points to direct guitar-to-amp with no pedals for the riff section. Settings inferred from Tweed Deluxe typical usage and forum discussions. No evidence of live or alternate gear for the riff.

The riff requires intermediate-level rhythmic precision, dynamic control, and muting to achieve the tight, funky articulation characteristic of the recording.
