Recording Notes

- Given the era and studio practices, a small amount of console compression may have been applied during recording or mixing to even out the dynamics.
Recreation Tips
- Start with a clean amp setting, aiming for a slightly warm and clear tone.
- Use the Stratocaster's bridge or middle pickup for clarity and articulation.
- Add a touch of compression to even out the dynamics and add sustain.
- Consider a slight boost in the midrange to help the guitar cut through the mix.
- Experiment with subtle chorus or doubling effects to thicken the sound.
