Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-mic'd amplifier in a studio environment.
• Multiple takes were likely comped together to achieve the final performance.
• The use of a phase 90 provides a slight swirling effect, adding depth to the tone.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Les Paul-style guitar and a Mesa/Boogie Mark II amp.
• Dial in a slightly overdriven tone with a good amount of sustain.
• Add an MXR Phase 90 for a subtle swirling effect.
• Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot of your amplifier.
• Consider double-tracking the guitar part to add thickness and dimension.
