Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with the amplifier in a relatively neutral position, focusing on capturing a clean and balanced sound.
• 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.
