Notes

Studio recording, 1978. Guitar is the iconic 'Greeny' Les Paul, amp is a Marshall Plexi. No evidence of other guitars or amps used on the original studio riff section. No confirmed pedal use for the riff section; overdrive comes from amp volume. Effects are minimal in the riff section, with natural amp reverb and possible subtle delay.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate technique due to the need for controlled sustain, expressive bends, and dynamic touch, but does not involve fast runs or complex chord changes.
