From Standing on the Verge of Getting It On (1974). Standing on the Verge of Getting It On is the sixth studio album by Funkadelic, released on 10 July 1974 by Westbound Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Funkadelic's other songs from Standing on the Verge of Getting It On, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.
