Recording Notes

• The song was likely recorded live in the studio, with the guitar amp miked in a fairly dry room.
• Subtle compression was applied to even out the dynamics.

Recreation Tips

• Use a clean amp sim or a real Fender Twin Reverb.
• Dial in a moderate amount of compression to even out the dynamics.
• Roll off some of the high end to create a warmer tone.
