From Boogie with Canned Heat (1968). Boogie with Canned Heat is the second studio album by American blues rock band Canned Heat. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '59 Bassman LTD Reissue, the rig we use for Canned Heat's other songs from Boogie with Canned Heat, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
