Recording notes

From Theme from a Perfect World (2016). No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez AT100CL Andy Timmons Classic through a Mesa Boogie Lone Star, the nearest rig we use for Andy Timmons' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
