Recording Notes

• The song was recorded at Studio 606, Dave Grohl's personal studio.
• The guitar sound blends the natural overdrive of the Vox AC30 with careful microphone placement to capture a balanced tone.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Gibson Les Paul or similar humbucker-equipped guitar.
• Use a Vox AC30 amp, or an amp modeler set to emulate its characteristics.
• Set the amp for a moderate amount of overdrive—enough to provide crunch without excessive distortion.
• Place a Shure SM57 close to the speaker cone, slightly off-axis, to capture a balanced sound.
• Adjust the EQ to taste, focusing on a strong midrange presence to cut through the mix.
