Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-mic'd amplifier to capture the direct sound.
• A blend of the close mic and a room mic may have been used to add some ambience.
• The clean amp provides a base tone, with the Tube Screamer adding a subtle overdrive for warmth and sustain.
• The Chorus pedal adds a subtle depth and movement to the sound.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a clean amp setting on a Fender-style amplifier.
• Use a Stratocaster with the neck pickup selected for a warm tone.
• Engage a Tube Screamer with the drive set low to add a touch of overdrive.
• Add a subtle chorus effect to thicken the sound.
• Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot on the amplifier.
