Notes
Studio recording, 1969 (Let It Be sessions). Gear confirmed for George Harrison's main rhythm/riff part. No evidence of pedals or external effects for this section; amp's built-in fuzz not used for riff, only for solo/overdub on other tracks.

Difficulty
The riff is fast and requires tight, consistent strumming with quick chord changes, but uses basic chord shapes and no advanced techniques.
