Recording Notes
- The lead guitar sound was likely achieved through a combination of live performance and studio experimentation. The use of a slide and slightly detuned strings contributes to the unique character.
- Distortion was added with the Pro Co Rat.
- The Roland Space Echo was used for tape delay.
- The Silvertone 1484 likely imparts its characteristic warm, slightly overdriven tone.
Recreation Tips
- Start with a guitar equipped with a slide.
- Slightly detune the strings to achieve a slightly out-of-tune sound.
- Use a Pro Co RAT to add distortion.
- Use a tape delay plugin or pedal to emulate the Roland Space Echo.
- Experiment with amp settings on a Silvertone 1484 or similar amp to dial in the warmth and grit.
- Consider double-tracking the part to enhance the thickness and slightly detuned feel.
