Notes
Studio recording, 1976 debut album. The clean riff section was tracked with the Scholz Rockman prototype, not a Marshall or live rig. Chorus and delay effects are present and likely from rack or pedal units, not the amp itself.

Difficulty
The clean riff requires accurate picking, clean fretting, and careful muting to avoid noise, especially with the lush effects. While not technically advanced, the clarity and timing demand intermediate skill.
