Recording notes

From Ay Ay Ay (1994). A raucous, bouncy rock song with a crunchy, rhythmic guitar and a shouted chorus. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue stands in. Use the bridge pickup and set the amp for a classic hard-rock crunch. Tuning isn't documented here.
