Notes

Studio recording, 1974 album version. Gary Rossington used the Les Paul Deluxe Goldtop with mini humbuckers into a Fender Silverface Twin Reverb. Effects include modulation pedal (see below). No evidence of Peavey amps or other guitars for this riff section on the original studio recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, syncopated picking at a brisk shuffle tempo, and clarity must be maintained despite the modulation effect. Intermediate players will find the groove and timing challenging but accessible.
