Notes

Studio recording, late 1960s/early 1970s. Both pickups engaged via stereo Y-cable, Varitone set to position #2. No evidence of pedals or additional effects in the riff section. Amp run clean but with volume for headroom and slight edge. Settings inferred from era and genre; no explicit knob values found.

Difficulty

The riff requires expressive phrasing, strong vibrato, and dynamic picking, but does not involve complex chord shapes or fast runs, making it accessible to intermediate players with a focus on feel and articulation.
