Recording Notes
- The guitar was likely recorded with a close-mic'd amplifier to capture the direct sound.
- The amp settings were probably dialed in for a clean tone with just a touch of overdrive to add some edge.
Recreation Tips
- Start with a clean amp setting on a Fender-style amplifier.
- Use the bridge pickup on a Stratocaster for a brighter tone.
- Add a subtle overdrive pedal if needed to replicate the slight grit.
- Experiment with chorus or flanger to add width.
