Recording Notes

• The song features a raw, energetic guitar tone achieved through a combination of the guitar's natural sound and the amplifier's overdrive.
• The sound is created by overdriving a Fender Twin Reverb amp, giving it a raw, slightly fuzzy tone.
• The guitar sound is further enhanced by close-miking with a Neumann U87.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Gibson ES-335 and plug into a Fender Twin Reverb amplifier.
• Increase the gain on the amp until it starts to overdrive, but not too much to maintain clarity.
• Use a Neumann U87 placed close to the speaker to capture the raw and energetic sound.
• Adjust the amp's EQ to taste. Try to keep it balanced. Maybe boost mids a bit.
