From Palace for the People (2026). A hard-rock track from the band's 2026 album, with a warm, overdriven guitar tone in the 70s tradition. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Set the amp at a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
