Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-miked amplifier to capture the direct and intimate sound. The amp's natural overdrive contributes to the subtle breakup in the tone.
• The room ambience appears minimal, suggesting a controlled recording environment.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Telecaster-style guitar into a Fender Tweed Deluxe amplifier.
• Position a Shure SM57 close to the speaker cone, slightly off-axis.
• Set the amp to a moderate volume, pushing it into light overdrive.
• Adjust the tone controls on the guitar and amp to achieve a warm, balanced sound, focusing on the mid frequencies for that sustained character.
• Consider rolling off some of the high end to avoid harshness.
