From What Separates Me from You (2010). What Separates Me from You is the fourth studio album by the American rock band A Day to Remember, and their third and final for Victory Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS SE Custom 24 through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for A Day to Remember's other songs from What Separates Me from You, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop B (B F♯ B E G♯ C♯).
