Recording Notes

• The distinctive guitar sound was achieved using a Gretsch Committee guitar, known for its unique tone.
• The Vox AC30 amp contributed to the bright, jangly character of the guitar.
• The Neumann U67 microphone was likely used to capture the amp's sound with clarity and detail.
• The guitar was recorded with a touch of compression to even out the dynamics and add sustain.

Recreation Tips

• Use a guitar with single-coil pickups and a bright tone, such as a Gretsch or Fender.
• Dial in a clean amp sound with a slight mid-range boost.
• Experiment with compression to add sustain and even out the dynamics.
• Consider using a touch of tremolo or vibrato to add movement to the sound.
• If you want to further emulate the sitar-like quality, try using a fuzz pedal with a pronounced upper-midrange.
