Recording Notes

• The guitar would have been recorded live in the studio with minimal processing.
• The amp would have been pushed to the edge of breakup to achieve the desired level of overdrive.
• The recording likely captured the natural acoustics of the studio space.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a semi-hollow body guitar like a Gibson ES-335 for a similar tone.
• Use a small tweed amp, such as a Fender Tweed Champ, and turn it up until it starts to slightly distort.
• Adjust the tone knob on your guitar to find the sweet spot between brightness and warmth.
• Experiment with different picking techniques to get the right attack and feel.
