Notes
Studio recording, 1978 (C.I. Recording, Static Age sessions). No evidence of pedal use for the riff section; fuzz may have been used for overdubs but not for main rhythm. No evidence of amp reverb or other built-in effects. Settings estimated based on era, genre, and amp model.

Difficulty
The riff is technically simple but requires stamina for fast downstrokes and tight timing, making it moderately challenging for beginners.
