Notes
Studio recording, 2001-2002. John Frusciante used his '62 Stratocaster for the riff section on 'The Zephyr Song.' The amp was typically a Marshall Major 200-watt head, sometimes blended with a Fender Showman, but for the driven/distorted riff sections, the Marshall Major is most likely primary. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this section. Effects are primarily from pedals, not amp-based.
