Recording Notes

• The rhythm guitar parts were likely recorded with a close-miked amplifier, focusing on capturing a direct and present sound.
• A small amount of compression helps to even out the dynamics and give the guitar a consistent presence in the mix.
• Chorus or doubling effects add a subtle layer of depth, enhancing the overall sonic texture.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a clean amplifier setting on a Vox AC30 or similar amp known for its chimey character.
• Use a Fender Telecaster in the bridge pickup position for a bright, articulate tone.
• Apply a light amount of compression to even out the dynamics.
• Add a chorus effect (like a Boss CE-1) subtly to add width and a shimmering quality.
• Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot on the speaker cone.
