Notes
Live performance, Frampton Comes Alive! (1975/1976 era). The riff section is played on the Les Paul Custom through the Marshall Super Lead. No talk box or Leslie on the main riff section; those are used in the solo. No evidence of pedal overdrive/fuzz on the riff, just amp overdrive. Studio context is live album recording.

Difficulty
The riff requires solid classic rock rhythm technique, dynamic pick attack, and clean muting for clarity, but does not involve advanced lead or complex chord work.
