Recording notes

From Bridges to Babylon (1997). Bridges to Babylon is the twenty-first British and twenty-third American studio album by the English rock band the Rolling Stones. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for The Rolling Stones' other songs from Bridges to Babylon, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
