Notes

Studio recording, 1971 (A Nod Is As Good As a Wink... to a Blind Horse). Ronnie Wood is widely documented using a Gibson Les Paul Standard into a Marshall Plexi for Faces' classic recordings. No evidence of pedals or effects other than amp overdrive for the riff section. Settings estimated based on era, genre, and amp model. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this studio rhythm part.

Difficulty

The riff is fast and energetic but uses straightforward chord shapes and strumming patterns. The main challenge is maintaining tight timing and aggressive feel at tempo.
