Notes

Live performance at El Mocambo, 1983. Guitar is SRV's 'Number One' Strat, tuned down half-step. Amp is primarily the Fender Vibroverb, as confirmed by multiple sources for 'Lenny' and other clean/ballad tones in this era. No evidence of Marshall or Dumble for this song/section. TS9 Tube Screamer is used as a clean boost. No chorus, delay, or modulation effects audible or cited for this section.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced control of dynamics, expressive vibrato, and thumb-over chord voicings, making it challenging for most players despite a slow tempo.
