From Raise Vibration (2018). Raise Vibration is the eleventh studio album by American rock musician Lenny Kravitz. 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 Lenny Kravitz's other songs from Raise Vibration, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck and middle pickups together. Standard tuning.
