Notes
Studio recording, 1971. Guitar confirmed as Harmony H78/Silvertone 1454/85 from contemporary accounts. Exact amp model not confirmed in any source; likely a clean tube amp typical of early 1970s Australian rock studios. No evidence of pedal use or effects beyond possible amp spring reverb.

The riff is rhythmically engaging but uses straightforward open chords and strumming patterns, making it accessible to most players with basic rhythm skills.
