From Déjà Voodoo (2004). Déjà Voodoo is the sixth studio album by southern rock jam band Gov't Mule. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Soldano SLO-100, the nearest rig we use for Gov't Mule's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
