Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-mic'd amplifier, possibly blended with a room microphone for added ambience.
• A touch of compression was likely applied during mixing to even out the dynamics and enhance sustain.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Telecaster-style guitar for a bright, articulate tone.
• Use a Tube Screamer-style overdrive pedal with the drive set moderately low to add sustain and harmonics.
• Set the amp for a clean tone with a slightly scooped midrange.
• Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot of the amplifier.
