Recording notes

From Power of the Blues (2004). Power of the Blues is the fourteenth solo album by Northern Irish blues guitarist and singer Gary Moore, released in 2004. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JTM45 2245 Reissue, the rig we use for Gary Moore's other songs from Power of the Blues, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
