Recording Notes

• The Epiphone Casino, known for its semi-hollow body and P-90 pickups, contributes significantly to the guitar's tone.
• The Vox AC30, a staple for British Invasion bands, adds its signature chime and warmth.
• A vintage compressor, such as the MXR Dyna Comp, helps even out the dynamics and add sustain.
• Double-tracking the guitar part and panning the tracks slightly can enhance the stereo width and create a fuller sound.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a semi-hollow guitar equipped with P-90 pickups; if that's not available, use single coil pickups.
• Use a Vox AC30 amplifier or an amp model that emulates its characteristics.
• Add a touch of compression to even out the dynamics and add sustain.
• Experiment with light chorus or tremolo to add movement and depth to the sound.
• Consider double-tracking the guitar part and panning the tracks slightly to create a wider stereo image.
