Recording notes

From Brigade (1990). Brigade is the tenth studio album by American rock band Heart, released on March 26, 1990, by Capitol Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Heart's other songs from Brigade, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
