A track on AB III, released in October 2010, a darker and heavier record than the band's earlier work. Mark Tremonti's rhythm guitar is thick and controlled, with Myles Kennedy's lead lines and vocal melodies over the top. Tremonti is known for his signature PRS and Mesa/Boogie amps, but no source available here confirms the exact gear on this recording, so that rig stands in. Use the bridge pickup, high gain and a tight, palm-muted attack. Tuning isn't documented for this recording.
