Notes
Studio recording, 1970 (All Things Must Pass sessions, 2014 remaster is a remix/remaster of these original tracks). No evidence of live rig or alternate guitar/amp for the clean riff section. All evidence points to Stratocaster direct into Fender Twin Reverb for clean slide riff.

Difficulty
The riff requires intermediate slide technique with accurate intonation and smooth transitions, as well as careful dynamic control to maintain a clean, expressive sound on a Stratocaster with low gain.
