Notes

Studio recording, 1983 (Another Perfect Day sessions). No evidence of pedal use for riff; Fast Eddie Clarke left after 1982, but the riff tone is consistent with his era and Brian Robertson's early Motörhead work, both using Les Pauls into Marshall JMPs. No evidence of effects loop or studio trickery for the riff.

Difficulty

The riff is straightforward but requires tight, aggressive picking and stamina at a fast tempo, making it moderately challenging for beginners but accessible to intermediate players.
