You might know this classic song from the final scene of Breaking Bad. Pete Ham wrote this and plays George Harrison's old Gibson SG (the same one George used on Revolver!) for the main electric guitar part

The guitar tone has a distinctive effect on it, which is tape flanging. Also known as Automatic Double Tracking, a technique developed at EMI with the Beatles. I'm recreating this tone with my Strymon Deco pedal!

The song is in the key of B, and the acoustic guitars play a G chord with the capo at the 4th fret. It's possible the electric guitar also had a capo here, but I assumed Pete played it normally. You can see in the music video for the song (it's actually a mimed TV performance) that Pete plays it without a capo very comfortably

Joey Molland, their lead guitarist most likely played the guitar solo, and the lead guitar closing the song. He either used his Gibson SG or Firebird. His guitar also has tape flanging on it

There's a difference in the tape flanging on the two electric guitars. Pete's main SG part has a longer delay time, while Joey's has a very short delay time. This short amount is called zero point flanging. You'll hear this on a lot of records, like Itchyoo Park by the Small Faces. It sounds like a jet plane. As opposed to Pete's which is more like a very short slapback delay

For Pete's flanging my Strymon Deco delay time knob is around 1-2 o'clock. For Joey's it is around 8 o'clock, at it's shortest delay setting

A cool part of the guitar solo that I discovered is at 2:31
After picking the high E note, instead of then picking the F sharp and bending to G sharp, he slides his fingers over to F sharp without picking. It almost sounds like a slide guitar, but with all of that overdrive and sustain he was able to forego picking the F sharp and slide with this left hand right from the E!

I'm playing my 1970 Gibson SG Special for the electric guitars. This is a real vintage Gibson, albeit with P90 single coils instead of the humbuckers in their SG's. It's plugged into my 1965 Fender Bassman amp

For Pete's SG i'm using an Analogman King of Tone on the drive side, into the Strymon Deco, into the Bassman. For Joey's SG it is the same, except I'm using a JHS Morning Glory V4 to boost into the King of Tone

There are two acoustic guitars on the song, panned left and right. The left acoustic is a 12 string, and the right a 6 string. For the 12 string, I'm using my 1967 Gibson B-25-12. And for 6 string, my 1969 Martin 00-18. Both are capo'd at the 4th fret

My Gear:
1970 Gibson SG Special
1969 Martin 00-18
1967 Gibson B-25-12
1965 Fender Bassman (original 2x12 cab)
Analogman King of Tone (normal gain version)
JHS Morning Glory V4 (on high gain red setting)
Strymon Deco
Neumann TLM103 (Acoustics)
AKG C414 (Amp mic)
