Recording notes

From Enemy of the World (2010). Enemy of the World is the fourth studio album by American rock band Four Year Strong. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, a driven pop-punk pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.
