Notes
Live performance, early 1970s (Dark Side of the Moon era). Clean sections typically used the Black Strat with neck or neck+middle pickup, Hiwatt DR103 head, and WEM 4x12 cab. Effects included Binson Echorec delay and plate reverb. No evidence of distortion/fuzz for clean riff section.

Difficulty
The clean riff requires intermediate skill due to its syncopated rhythm, dynamic control for clarity, and the need to mute strings cleanly while managing delay repeats for a spacious, articulate sound.
