Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-mic'd amplifier.
• The amp's gain was probably set to a moderate level to achieve the overdrive.
• EQ adjustments were likely made during mixing to further enhance the high-midrange frequencies.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Stratocaster-style guitar and a Fender Deluxe Reverb or similar amp.
• Set the amp to a clean or slightly overdriven tone.
• Use a Shure SM57 or similar dynamic microphone placed close to the speaker.
• Experiment with EQ to boost the high-midrange frequencies, adding presence and clarity.
• Consider using a touch of compression to even out the dynamics and enhance sustain.
