Studio recording, Loaded album (1970). Gear confirmed for this era and album by period sources. No evidence of pedals or effects other than amp reverb. Settings adapted from similar Velvet Underground studio tracks from the same album/session.

The riff is based on simple open and barre chords with a clean, dynamic picking style. The main challenge is maintaining the laid-back groove and clarity, not technical complexity.
