Recording notes

From So Help Me God (2022). So Help Me God is the sixth studio album by American country rock artist Brantley Gilbert. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Brantley Gilbert's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
