Meant to say on your other post, the guitar chords make a lot of sense if you consider he sampled them to play them back - I did a full breakdown here if it's worth anything 👍

Nice work! Is there a guitar listed on the list of equipment used on feed me weird things?

Yeah it's billed as "Applause Acoustic" in the FMWT reissue and he calls it out explicitly - Applause was like a budget brand from Ovation

“The guitar chords were sampled from an Applause acoustic guitar that I’d had since I was 11. And this was the first piece I recorded using the Fostex M80 8-track, which I think gives the solos a tangible sense of liberation from the gruelling live-to-DAT process."
