Jonny's part, it's all in the left earphone.

Jonny is using the neck pickup on his Fender Telecaster Plus V1. For delay his is using
the Boss RE20 Space Echo, and if he does use a phaser it would be his EHX Small Stone V4.

I listed this as intermediate because of the Chorus/Outro, which require slightly
difficult finger picking.
