Recording Notes

• The recording took place at EMI Studios (Abbey Road) in London.

Recreation Tips

• Use a semi-hollow body guitar like an Epiphone Casino for a similar tonal foundation.
• Dial in a slightly overdriven sound on a Vox AC30 or an amp model that emulates its characteristics.
• Experiment with microphone placement to capture the desired brightness and room ambience.
• Apply gentle compression to even out the dynamics and add sustain.
