Notes

Studio recording, 1978 (C.I. Recording, Static Age sessions). No evidence of pedal use for the riff section; fuzz may have been used for overdubs but not for main rhythm. No evidence of amp reverb or other built-in effects. Settings estimated based on era, genre, and amp model.

Tone Character(10)

Difficulty

The riff is technically simple but requires stamina for fast downstrokes and tight timing, making it moderately challenging for beginners.
