Notes

Studio recording, 1978 (Photo-Finish album). Rory Gallagher's battered '61 Strat was his main guitar. The amp for this era and song is confirmed as the Marshall JMP 2104 combo, not his earlier Vox or Fender amps. Pedals used for rhythm/riff section include Tube Screamer and likely Boss BF-2 Flanger for subtle modulation. No evidence of Dallas Rangemaster or other boosts for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, precise picking and strumming, dynamic muting, and control over crunchy tone and subtle modulation, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
