Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-miked amp, focusing on capturing a tight and defined sound.
• Compression was probably applied during mixing to enhance the percussive qualities and ensure the guitar sat well in the busy mix.
• Mixing console EQ and compression were used to finalize the sound.

Recreation Tips

• Use a Fender Stratocaster in the bridge or middle position for a bright and articulate tone.
• Set the Fender Deluxe Reverb to a clean setting with a moderate amount of volume to get a slightly overdriven sound.
• Place a Shure SM57 close to the speaker cone, slightly off-axis, to capture a balanced sound.
• Use a compressor plugin with a medium attack and release to even out the dynamics and add sustain.
• Experiment with EQ to cut any muddiness and boost the high-mid frequencies for clarity.
