Notes
Studio recording, 1975 (Nuthin' Fancy album). No direct evidence of pedals or effects for the riff section; classic Skynyrd rhythm tone is amp-driven. No evidence of live/touring substitutions for the studio riff tone.

The riff is moderately challenging due to its syncopated rhythm, need for tight timing, and dynamic picking, but does not require advanced lead techniques.
