From Love and Theft (2001). "Love and Theft" is the thirty-first studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on September 11, 2001, by Columbia Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Bob Dylan's other songs from Love and Theft, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the middle+bridge pickups together. Standard tuning.
