I was looking for my next song I could enhance and I remembered my friend lent me a Everly Brothers CD with this song on it. It's so catchy as a melody and had great acoustic guitars. I just wanted to hike-up the high fidelity of the original recording a bit so it has more presence. I used my 12 string acoustic on both channels with a capo on the 12 string on the right channel. I added 4 claps on the left and right channels throughout the song and some extra vocals at key parts. I like how it kicks. It took me a few takes to get the timing on the beginning guitar rift. I also dropped in some lead picking on the left channel and a tambourine in at 1:08 to the end making it build up more as it progresses. It was pretty fun to do as well. These guys were great!
