Notes
Studio recording, 1967 (Strange Days album). Guitar plugged directly into amp, no pedals. Used neck pickup. Amp was likely a rental Twin Reverb with Jensen or Oxford 12-inch speakers. Krieger played fingerstyle, no pick. Old, dead strings preferred for a warmer, less bright tone.

Difficulty
The riff requires intermediate fingerstyle technique, accurate shuffle feel, and dynamic control for articulation. The lack of a pick and the need for precise muting and double-stop phrasing make it moderately challenging.
