Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-mic'd amplifier, capturing the direct sound with minimal room ambience.
• The wah-wah pedal was used rhythmically to create the signature funky sound, emphasizing the midrange frequencies.
• The guitar tone is relatively clean, suggesting a moderate gain setting on the amplifier.
• DI signal blended with mic'd cabinet to enhance clarity and punch.

Recreation Tips

• Use a semi-hollow guitar like a Gibson ES-335 for a warm, resonant tone.
• Set your amp to a clean or slightly overdriven tone.
• Experiment with different wah-wah pedals to find one that provides a vocal-like sweep.
• Focus on rhythmic wah-wah movements to create the funky, syncopated effect.
• Blend a direct input signal with the mic'd amp to add clarity and punch.
