From Cry (2019). Greg Gonzalez's songs are slow, hushed and spacious, built on soft clean guitar. No source documents the guitar or amp for this song, so a Stratocaster into a Twin Reverb stands in. Keep the amp clean at low volume, use the neck pickup and roll the tone knob back a little. Tuning isn't documented here.
