From Carrying Your Love with Me (1997). Carrying Your Love with Me is the seventeenth studio album by the American country music artist George Strait, released in 1997. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for George Strait's other songs, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
