From Let's Take It to the Stage (1975). Let's Take It to the Stage is the seventh album by American funk rock band Funkadelic. 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 nearest rig we use for Funkadelic's other songs, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
