Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-miked amplifier in a well-treated studio environment.
• A combination of direct input and miked amp signals may have been used to achieve the desired clarity and punch.
• The song's driving energy and raw feel point to a live band setup during recording.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Telecaster and dial in a bright, clean tone on the bridge pickup.
• Use a Vox AC30 amplifier and set the gain to just before breakup, or use an overdrive pedal for similar results.
• Place a Shure SM57 microphone close to the speaker cone, slightly off-axis.
• In your DAW, use a high-pass filter to remove any low-end rumble and add a touch of compression to even out the dynamics.
• Experiment with subtle chorus or flanger effects to enhance the jangly character.
