From Getting Killed (2025). Getting Killed is the fourth album by the American rock band Geese, released on September 26, 2025, on Partisan Records and Play It Again Sam. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster through a Fender Deluxe Reverb, the rig we use for Geese's other songs from Getting Killed, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
