_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ [A#] use this guitar on the record.
It's a [G] 57 Strat with a DiMarzio HS2 in [F] the bridge position.
And then I also used my signature [E] _ Strat as well.
This is actually the first signature
Strat I ever got, number one, [B] and I really like it a lot.
I used this Red Rosewood DJ
Strat, but I've put a Super V tremolo on this because I kind of like the Super Vs.
They don't take any modifications.
They're just totally stock, and they actually sound
to me for a locking tremolo, they sound about the best I've heard.
They actually can retain
really close to the original vintage sound of the guitar, and they stay in tune real
well.
I use Gibsons a little bit.
I used a 335 and an SG.

_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ My [G#] rhythm tone's still a couple
of twins with the stereo TC chorus, and before that I have a couple of different echo selections.
I replaced the _ [E] EchoPlex with a DD2, _ so [B] it works pretty good.
And then also I have the
Memory Man if I want to kick in a little extra stuff.
[Bm] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
I could put in the extra echo.
[B] _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
[C#] I'm
trying to go back to a stereo 412 [E] cabinet with two piggyback twin heads.
It has a little
[B] more bottom than just the suitcase amps, but I still like the way the suitcase sounds.
If you're in the studio, sometimes Mike and I are real close where it's not an issue.
They can sound a little sweeter.
So I kind of do like [E] those, but for live use it seems
[N] to have a little more of a _ [E] thicker.
_ [B] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
Dirty rhythm's [D] pretty much like it was, except I
have added a loop system. _ _
_ [A] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [C] _
I can put in the Tube [Gm] Screamer.
_ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [G] _ I use it mainly just for power
chords. _
_ [F] _ _ I did [G#] the Hendrix tour recently, and we were doing House Burning Down on the tour,
so I had to find a flanger.
Howard Leeds gave me one of these flangers to [B] check out, and
I actually love it.
It's the [E] Barracuda Toadworks flanger.
[Em] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ It doesn't screw the [Em] tone up.
The
fuzz [E] face is really picky about what is in line [Em] with it. _

_ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G#m] The leads to the same kind of
just a 50 or 100 watt Marshall with an EchoPlex and a tube driver.
Same thing for [E] many years.

_ _ _ _ _ [A] Now really, it's time to be [D] really candid.
[E] So right here, [A] I use this on the whole record.
That's it, baby.
That's all I use.
But then I had a special ingredient I used to use,
Fantastik, but now _ I've found a better sound with Armor All.
You don't even have to spray
it.
You just take the top off.
[C#m] It doesn't matter what you do to the top.
You [E] lay it
up there [A] and woo-hoo, you know, it's great.
That's it right there.
I did it all just like,
whoops.
Okay, [B] there we go.
Okay, now that's it right there.
[F#m] That does it all.
And you
[E] see how it's at an [Bm] angle?
That's part of the [A] effect.
I mean, forget the [E] battery thing about,
oh, [Bm] you know, he likes [A] batteries from Jamaica.
[D] No, that's over.
That's [A] yesterday's news.
It's about tilted box DC amplifiers now.
