Recording notes

From Carolina (2009). Carolina is the second studio album by American country music artist Eric Church. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gretsch G6122T Country Gentleman through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Eric Church's other songs from Carolina, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
