Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-mic'd amplifier, capturing the direct sound with minimal room ambience.
• The compression was used to even out the dynamics and add sustain, while the chorus added a subtle thickness and movement to the tone.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Stratocaster-style guitar and a clean amp with some headroom.
• Use a compressor pedal with a moderate amount of gain reduction to increase sustain and even out the dynamics.
• Add a chorus pedal with a slow rate and shallow depth to create a subtle thickening effect.
• Experiment with different amp and pedal settings to find the sweet spot that matches the tone of the recording.
