Notes
Studio recording, 1969/1970. Riff section (not solo). Harrison played the Rosewood Telecaster through a Fender Twin Reverb for the main rhythm/riff. The Leslie 147RV was used for the solo, not the riff. Confirmed by multiple session photos and articles.

Difficulty
The riff section of 'Let It Be' is rhythmically straightforward, uses basic chord shapes, and does not require advanced techniques, making it accessible to most players with some experience.
