Standard Tuning
I'm pretty sure Kelly used a Jaguar on this song. You can get the tone easily with a
strat with the middle pickup selected. You'll want a thin distortion as well (I play
through a Marshall MG100 with OD2 selected and the gain set to 5). You may also want
a wah, a phaser and probably a flange pedal as well.

Intro (Fig. 1)
