I like this tone for this song, it was quite quick to program but is very effective in sounding like the original recording when played with a live band and a second acoustic.

Performance Notes

The acoustic does the main rhythm for this song, I play mostly the second guitar parts of keyboard parts for the verses.  For the chorus, I use the wah and with a bridge pickup go for a very effected upper register riff.

On the outtro to the song, I sometimes turn on the REVERB I have programmed into this patch.  Its a very short room delay and sounds completely unnatural.  Its not authentic, so if in doubt, leave the reverb off on this patch!
