Process
Since myvanillaworld wrote that she sang the pell in the key of C, I tried the C/G/F chord combination. Sounded perfect, so I went along with that.
The pell was already edited and arranged from the version 1 remix. I laid a new drum/ shaker track. Then recorded the dirty guitar tracks. Overlaid that with the clean guitar tracks. To fill up the space, I recorded a (minor) lead guitar track. Did more minor edits to the pell to fit better. Adjusted the fades, volume levels and mix.
Finally added a bass track.
Other Notes
I don't know about others, but I really like this track!
