No Matter What by Badfinger from the album "No Dice"
trans. Jim Vegeais (vegeaisj@rcwcl1.dnet.bp.com)
There are at least three guitar parts in the studio version: distorted
guitar mainly on the left channel (moved to center for the intro), a
brighter cleaner rhythm guitar on the right channel, and slightly distorted
guitar through a Leslie speaker that begins after the first bridge and
covers up most of the distorted guitar on the left channel.
