Recording notes

From Sci-Fi Crimes (2009). Sci-Fi Crimes is the fifth studio album by the American rock band Chevelle, released on August 31, 2009 through Epic Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Mesa Boogie Mark IV, the rig we use for Chevelle's other songs from Sci-Fi Crimes, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop B (B F♯ B E G♯ C♯).
