Studio recording, 2018 (Blend Inn album). No explicit confirmation of exact guitar/amp for 'Dylan's Place' riff, but Strat + Fender amp is highly probable for this era and style.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, syncopated strumming and dynamic picking to achieve the jangly, surf-inspired tone, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast runs.
