Notes

Studio recording, 1975-1976 for the 'Children of the World' album. No direct evidence of pedals or amp model in sources, but period-typical Bee Gees studio photos and audio analysis strongly suggest a Stratocaster into a clean Fender amp. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate-level funk/disco rhythm technique, with tight muting, fast strumming, and precise timing to maintain the groove.
