Tone Profile

Warm and intimate rhythm guitar tone with a slightly overdriven character, providing a soulful and supportive backdrop for the vocals. The sound is clean enough to feel comforting, but has enough character to be interesting.

Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded in a single take to capture the raw emotion of the song.
• Close-miking techniques were probably used to capture the direct sound of the amplifier.
• The amp was likely driven to the edge of breakup to achieve a slightly overdriven tone.

Recreation Tips

• Use a Fender Telecaster with the neck pickup selected for a warm tone.
• Set the Fender Champ to a low volume with the gain just enough to add a touch of overdrive.
• Position a Shure SM57 close to the speaker cone, slightly off-axis.
• Record the part with minimal effects to retain the natural character of the guitar and amp.
