Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: This is a weird song guitar-wise. I guess they experimented quite
a lot for this album. The first guitar, on the left, has a reverb on it
and is very far back in the mix. At times it is very hard to hear. The other
one, on the right, has a sound almost totally lacking in high frequencies
giving it a dark, contourless appearence. What they play isn-t that strange
though. The solo is, as Ace has made clear in several interviews, a hired
gun. I think it's OK, I really like the cromatic ending for one thing. (And
that high pinch harmonic isn't too bad either.) As everone can hear, the
main riff is doubled by what seems to be an acoustic (could be a clean
electric on there as well).
