Recording notes

From Crystal Planet (1998). Joe Satriani's seventh studio album, it was released on 3 March 1998 through Epic Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez JS1200 Joe Satriani through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig to the one documented for Joe Satriani, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
