Background

As stated on the inside cover of Chicago Transit Authority album by producer, James William Guercio:

"Free Form Guitar was performed on a Fender Stratocaster guitar through a Showman amplifier equipped with a twin 15 bottom utilizing a Bogan P.A. amplifier as a pre-amp. No electronic gimmicks or effects were used in the recording of this selection, the intent being to capture as faithfully as possible the actual sound of the performance as it occurred." — James William Guercio
