DADGAD Desert March — Main Riff
The defining ingredients are a Danelectro in DADGAD and a loud, moderately driven Marshall-style amp. Exact session control positions are not documented, so these settings approximate the broad, relatively open tone rather than adding modern high gain.

Notes
Let the open strings ring and keep the bass controlled; excessive preamp gain makes the descending chords indistinct.
