From Spirit of the Wild (1995). Spirit of the Wild is the eleventh studio album by American hard rock musician Ted Nugent. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Byrdland through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Ted Nugent's other songs from Spirit of the Wild, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
