Notes

Studio recording, 1976 for the album 'Es lo mejor' (released 1977). No evidence of pedal use; classic blues rock setup typical for Mexican rock bands of the era. Gear inferred from period photos, genre, and audible tone. No direct source confirming exact models for this song, but period-correct Les Paul and Marshall Plexi are overwhelmingly likely.

Difficulty

The riff requires solid timing and dynamic pick attack typical of blues rock, but does not involve advanced techniques or high speed, making it accessible to intermediate players.
