Notes

Studio recording, 1977. Gary Rossington played the main riff on a Gibson Les Paul Standard through a Peavey Mace amp with no pedals, using amp gain for overdrive. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the riff section. Settings inferred from Rossington's interview and typical Peavey Mace usage.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, syncopated rhythm playing with dynamic picking and palm muting, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempos.
