From Brainwashed (2002). Brainwashed is the twelfth and final studio album by the English rock musician George Harrison. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender George Harrison Rocky Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Super Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for George Harrison's other songs from Brainwashed, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the middle and bridge pickups together. Standard tuning.
