Recording Notes

• The song was recorded at The Truck Stop in Seattle, Washington.
• The guitar sound features a combination of direct amp recording and close-miking techniques.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Telecaster-style guitar into a clean Fender amp, such as a Deluxe Reverb.
• Use a ProCo Rat for light overdrive to add some bite and sustain without excessive distortion.
• Apply an MXR Dyna Comp or similar compressor to even out the dynamics and add sustain.
• Position an SM57 close to the speaker cone, slightly off-axis to reduce harshness.
• Experiment with the amp's EQ to achieve a bright and clear tone, focusing on the treble frequencies.
