Recording Notes
- The guitar sound is characterized by a close-mic'd amp, likely in a small room to capture the immediacy and raw energy.
- The overdriven tone is a key element, contributing to the song's emotional intensity.
Recreation Tips
- Start with a Fender Telecaster into a Vox AC30. Experiment with the amp's gain to achieve a similar level of overdrive.
- Use a Shure SM57 close to the speaker cone to capture the amp's tone.
- Adjust the amp's EQ to cut through the mix without sounding harsh.
