It’s easy to bluff your way through a roughly similar version of Ed King’s classic clean Strat riff. You’ll be playing open D5, Cadd9 and G5 chords (easy!) and a simple major pentatonic line (again, not too hard!). These parts are easy to adapt to make them easier to play. For a more authentic rendition, you’ll need to focus on picking the exact strings, so as to mirror King’s part.
