From The Seeds (1966). The Seeds is the debut album by American garage rock band the Seeds. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Vintera '60s Mustang through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for The Seeds' other songs from The Seeds, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
