Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-mic'd amplifier.
• The Ibanez Tube Screamer may have been used to push the amp into overdrive.
• The Stratocaster's single-coil pickups contribute to the bright and clear tone.

• Start with a Stratocaster-style guitar and a Marshall-style amplifier.
• Use a Tube Screamer to add a touch of overdrive, adjusting the gain to taste.
• Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot on the amplifier.
• Consider using EQ to further shape the tone and remove any unwanted frequencies.
