Recording Notes

• The rhythm guitar provides a foundation for the song, employing mostly clean tones to give a clear, bright feel.
• The guitar likely had minimal processing, relying on the natural sound of the amplifier and guitar.

Recreation Tips

• Use a Fender Stratocaster with single-coil pickups.
• Set the amp for a clean tone with a slight bite. Fender Tweed amps are a good starting point.
• Use amp vibrato to mimic the classic surf sound.
• Double-track the guitar parts to thicken the sound and enhance the stereo image.
