From When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019). When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? is the debut studio album by the American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline through a Vox AC30 C2, the nearest rig we use for Billie Eilish's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
