From Nervous Young Man (2013). Nervous Young Man is the eighth solo studio album by American musician Will Toledo released under the Car Seat Headrest alias. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Car Seat Headrest's other songs from Nervous Young Man, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
