Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with the amplifier in a relatively open space to capture some natural room ambience.
• The amp was probably driven to the edge of breakup, providing a subtle but present overdrive.
• The microphone was likely placed close to the speaker cone, slightly off-axis, to capture a balanced tone with minimal harshness.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Telecaster-style guitar for the authentic twang.
• Use a Fender Tweed Deluxe amp model or a similar low-wattage tube amp for the base tone.
• Dial in a slight overdrive on the amp to give the guitar some grit and presence.
• Position a Shure SM57-style microphone close to the speaker, slightly off-axis.
• Add a touch of room reverb in your DAW to simulate the natural ambience of a recording space.
