Recording notes

From Say You Will (2003). Say You Will is the seventeenth and final studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 15 April 2003. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Rick Turner Model 1 through a Fender Deluxe Reverb, the rig we use for Fleetwood Mac's other songs from Say You Will, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the single pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
