Recording Notes

- It's possible that the slight detuning or warble effect was achieved through tape manipulation or a similar technique.
- The guitar sound might have been re-sampled or processed to fit the overall lo-fi aesthetic of the track.
Recreation Tips
- Use a Fender Stratocaster or similar single-coil guitar into a Vox AC30-style amp.

- Use a Shure SM57 or similar dynamic microphone to capture the amp sound.
