Tone Profile

The rhythm guitar provides a bright, jangly acoustic foundation for the song. It's a clean, fairly dry sound with a clear attack, typical of acoustic guitars recorded in the mid-1970s.

Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a condenser microphone placed a few feet away from the soundhole.
• Acoustic treatment in the studio would have minimized room reflections.
• The recording probably used some light compression during tracking or mixing.

Recreation Tips

• Use a bright acoustic guitar with new strings.
• Position a condenser microphone a few feet from the guitar.
• Apply light compression to even out the dynamics without squashing the sound.
