From I Get Wet (2001). I Get Wet is the debut studio album by American rock musician Andrew W.K., released on November 13, 2001, via Island Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Explorer through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Andrew W.K.'s other songs from I Get Wet, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
