Recording notes

From The Best Damn Thing (2007). The Best Damn Thing is the third studio album by the Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne, released on 17 April 2007 by RCA Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM2000 DSL100, the rig we use for Avril Lavigne's other songs from The Best Damn Thing, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
