Hey, you have to listen to this song at 
11.30 at a Friday night. Then you´ll
recognize how great this song is if you 
haven´t already. To get the cool sound
on the record you´ll have to add some 
effects (chorus/reverb…) and volume
swells or toogle switches.

Guitar 1: Billy (Acoustic)
Guitar 2: James (electric)
