Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close microphone technique to capture a direct and immediate sound.
• Given the era and studio (Abbey Road), a Neumann U67 would have been a common choice for recording guitars.
• The use of a Vox AC30, known for its bright and chime-like characteristics, helps achieve the jangly tone.
• The relatively dry sound suggests minimal use of reverb or other ambience effects during the recording process.

Recreation Tips

• Use a Fender Stratocaster-style guitar for its characteristic single-coil sound.
• Select the bridge pickup for a brighter and more cutting tone.
• Set the amplifier to a clean or slightly overdriven setting, focusing on clarity and chime.
• Experiment with close mic'ing techniques to capture the direct sound of the guitar.
• Avoid excessive use of reverb or other ambience effects.
