Notes

Studio recording, 1969; no evidence of pedals or additional effects in clean riff section. Gear inferred from period photos, interviews, and typical Dutch/European studio setups of the late 1960s. No direct source confirms exact amp, but Fender Twin Reverb is most plausible for this clean, bright tone.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically straightforward but requires tight, clean picking and articulation to capture the classic sound. No advanced techniques, but clarity and timing are essential.
