  2. What guitar was used on Learning to Breathe?

    The Telecaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Telecaster) appears on the most Learning to Breathe tracks in our catalog. You don't need one - the settings are calibrated to the recorded tone, so they translate to the guitar you already have.

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Learning to Breathe we've catalogued, the median is gain 5 (range 5–5), with bass 5, mid 6, treble 6.5 on a 0–10 scale. That's the record's window rather than any one song's recipe - pick a track above for the exact knob positions it was recorded with.
