Notes
Live performance, typically mid-to-late 1970s era (e.g., 1975-1977 tours). Settings and effects are for the riff/intro section, not the solo. Gilmour's Black Strat was his main guitar for this part. Amp is set for clean, glassy tone with pedals providing compression and modulation.

Difficulty
The riff demands intermediate skill due to its expressive phrasing, dynamic control, and the need to maintain clarity with multiple modulation effects.
