Recording Notes

  • The guitar was likely recorded in a well-treated studio environment to minimize unwanted reflections.
  • A close-miking technique was probably used with the Shure SM57 to capture the direct sound of the amplifier.
  • The amp was likely set to a moderate volume to achieve a clean but slightly driven tone.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a Fender Telecaster or similar guitar with single-coil pickups.
  • Use a Fender Tweed Deluxe amplifier or a similar low-wattage tube amp.
  • Position a Shure SM57 microphone close to the speaker cone, slightly off-axis.
  • Set the amp to a clean tone with a touch of breakup when strumming hard.
  • Adjust the tone controls on the guitar and amp to achieve the desired brightness and clarity.
