Notes

Studio recording, 1966; Take 7 of 'Strawberry Fields Forever' riff section. Gear based on Abbey Road session documentation and period-correct Beatles studio setup. No evidence of pedals or additional effects in the riff section; Mellotron is the main melodic instrument in the intro, but the guitar riff is present in the body of the track.

Difficulty

The riff requires clean, articulate chord work and tight timing with the rhythm section, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
