From Second Helping (1974). Second Helping is the second studio album by Lynyrd Skynyrd, released on April 15, 1974. 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 Lynyrd Skynyrd's other songs from Second Helping, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
