EFFECTS
This is tricky because of all the guitar tracks on the record,
so here a rough expression of how the combinations come across.
Intro - Chorus & mild compression
Verse1- Mild distortion
Chorus- Fuzz w/the tone turned down
Outro - Bluesy at the start, getting fuzzier all the time.
If you have any additions/corrections especially about the lyrics,
please e-mail me at D.C.Byron@hw.ac.uk
I hope I have done this song justice in this transcription. The number of
tracks makes transcribing it a nightmare, but I think I got all the
important bits.
