I don’t know anyone who plays it period.
But it is a bit tricky if you listen to all of his nuances.

That is pretty much it, I get the riff but the Kossoff frets the low A is awkward.

The “A”chord as Kossoff played it live he basically rides the A on the fifth position of E making it 3 “A’s” the high A is a panned dub in the studio allegedly.
The strum of that weird C shape is very awkward to me.
You play it well C-Grin! It’s always pleasure, thanks.
That makes it way easier to here than trying to pick it out of the mix.
Somewhere I read a chord chart (Tabs) or watched a tutorial how to play this. As opposed to a lot of that garbage that shows up online, it feel it was pretty accurate. I still can't play it.... but that;s on me. Not the tutorial.
Years ago while noodling around, I did stumble on the Cowboy chords for the intro. I had the general idea but could always tell I didn't really have it right.

Chris Buck has a great lesson for this one on his YouTube channel.

Well it was probably time to learn it right i suppose, might as well play it on a LP too.

The 3rd chord D add11 is hard to make that sound good. It’s shaped like a C chord on the 5th fret. Great work everyone.Y’all shamed me into it. Had to go grab my G400 while watching the Cubs. Found my “cheat” notes from how ever long ago I wrote them down on a piece of scrap paper. Now. Just get my fingers to work right. They’re pretty close….. more or less.

I don’t know why I got this song in my head but I want to do a recording before and after using the same amp model and my Ebony LP Studio before I change it the pickups.
I’ve been working on it. Still a bit rough.

About that. I’ve had an “All Right Now” ear worm going since I read the first post. Thank you very much.
So like I said. Had to go get a guitar and mess around. However. As stated in a different post…. I kinda took a couple months off from the guitar. One of those we weren’t home. The other month was lack of motivation. So my fingers really need to get back in shape.
Edit: For me it’s the A5. I don’t seem to be blessed with a little finger that works like it needs to, so barring the B and E string at the 5th fret is a bit of a stretch. Still working on that one.

Yeah that shape is a stretch and a bit brutal as you need to lift the other fingers at different times while keeping that pinky anchored. Probably why I learned it the other way to begin with.
. Also I kind of sonically like the other A chord with the the A on the high E the second pass. But here nor there it is of course one of the best rock songs of all time.
So….. as I suggested…. I did work on this riff a bit tonight. At least till dexterity in the fingers gave out. Too long without a guitar in my grubby paws.
