From Let's Talk About Love (1997). Let’s Talk About Love is the fifteenth studio album and fifth English-language release by Canadian singer Celine Dion, issued on 14 November 1997 by Columbia Records and Epic Records. The song's Wikipedia article says Walter Afanasieff added electric guitar and string parts when the single was prepared for radio release. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Fender Deluxe Reverb, a warm, lightly driven pop-rock pairing, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
