Description
I’m using a Stratocaster guitar for this song, but any electric guitar is suitable. For Guitars 1 & 2, I’ve selected position 2 of the 5 way switch (bridge and middle pickups combined) to give a quacky, out of phase sound. For Guitar 3, I’m using the bridge pickup for a brighter, clearer sound.
A Fender tube amp is the best choice to replicate the electric tone in this tune. Dial it in for a gritty overdriven sound. Start out with the Preamp Gain to around 70%, Bass to 50%, Mids to 55%, Treble and Presence to 65%.
For Guitar 2, I’m kicking in a Tube Screamer for more gain and sustain. Guitar 3 is cleaner, so roll down your guitar’s volume, or lower the amp gain to around 45%. Add a touch of reverb to all guitars for depth.
Since we’re in standard tuning, I’m using regular light gauge strings that are 10-46 along with a heavy pick.
