From can u see me in the dark? (2024). A heavy, driving hard-rock song with a thick, saturated guitar tone. Premier Guitar's rig rundown has Lzzy Hale on a signature Gibson Explorer plugged into a matching Marshall, and Guitar World covers her work with Gibson on a new Explorerbird design. No source documents the guitar or amp on this track, so a Gibson Lzzy Hale Explorerbird into a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Set a medium-high crunch on the bridge pickup and keep the low end tight. Tuning isn't documented here.
