From Wolfmother (2005). Wolfmother is the debut studio album by Australian rock band Wolfmother, originally released on 31 October 2005 in Australia through Modular Recordings. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Flying V through an Orange Rockerverb 50 MkIII, the rig we use for Wolfmother's other songs from Wolfmother, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
