Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-miked amplifier. The room ambience was probably minimized to keep the focus on the guitar's direct sound.
• Compression was applied to even out the dynamics and add sustain.
• Chorus effect adds a subtle thickening and swirling texture.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Les Paul or similar humbucker-equipped guitar.
• Use a Mesa/Boogie Mark I or similar amp known for its high-gain capabilities and bright tone.
• Dial in a moderate amount of overdrive on the amp.
• Add a compressor pedal (MXR Dyna Comp) to increase sustain and even out the dynamics.
• Apply a subtle chorus effect (Boss CE-1) to thicken the sound.
• Use a Shure SM57 or similar dynamic microphone for recording.
• Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot on the speaker cone.
• Adjust the EQ on the amp and/or console to achieve a bright and clear tone.
