Recording notes

From Blonde on Blonde (1966). Blonde on Blonde is the seventh studio album by the American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released as a double album on June 20, 1966, by Columbia Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Bob Dylan's other songs from Blonde on Blonde, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
