Recording Notes
- The lead guitar sound is characterized by its clean but slightly driven tone, likely achieved by pushing the amp slightly or using a light overdrive pedal.
- The Roland Jazz Chorus is known for its clean headroom, so the overdrive might have been achieved by driving the amp's input or through a pedal.
Recreation Tips
- Start with a semi-hollow guitar like an Epiphone Casino. The hollow body contributes to the jangly character.
- Use a Roland Jazz Chorus amp set to a clean tone. Increase the gain slightly to achieve a light overdrive.
- Experiment with light overdrive pedals to achieve the desired level of grit if the amp alone isn't enough.
- Use chorus sparingly to add width, as it's a part of the amp's characteristics.
