Recording notes

From Love and War (2017). A mid-tempo country song with a clean, singing electric guitar line. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Crook Custom Paisley T through a Dr. Z Maz 18 Jr NR stands in. Set the amp on the edge of breakup and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
