Recording Notes

• The song was recorded at Abbey Road Studios.
• The guitar sound benefits from a blend of direct amp signal and the room ambience captured by the Neumann U87.
• The chorus effect is subtle but essential in creating the shimmering quality.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Telecaster into a Vox AC30 set for a light overdrive.
• Experiment with microphone placement to capture both the amp's direct sound and the room's ambience.
• Use a Boss CE-1 chorus pedal (or a similar chorus effect) to add width and shimmer, keeping the depth and rate relatively low.
