Recording Notes

• The original recording featured Vic Flick on guitar, known for his distinctive playing style and use of a Fender electric guitar and Vox AC30 amplifier.
• The tremolo effect is a key element in creating the song's distinctive sound and mysterious atmosphere.
• It is likely that the guitar was recorded with minimal processing to maintain its clarity and presence within the mix.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a clean Fender-style guitar (Telecaster or Stratocaster).
• Use a Vox AC30 amp (or amp sim) with a clean, bright tone.
• Add a tremolo pedal (or amp's tremolo) with a slow, subtle rate and moderate depth to achieve that signature 'James Bond' pulse.
• Adjust the amp's EQ for brightness and clarity, ensuring the guitar cuts through the mix without sounding harsh.
