LYNYRD SKYNYRD SIMPLE MAN Interlude riff

This riff is played along the strings to enable those slides on the fifth string up to the 7th fret. Use your third finger for the slide, this makes it easier to play the low G (bar 2, beat 1) and low A (bar 3, beat 1) with your first finger. Use an overdriven tone here but don’t saturate it with too much distortion or you’ll lose clarity and groove.
