Recording notes

From Wonder (2017). A hushed, slow-building worship epic that moves from clean, spacious guitar to a big, driving finale. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired stands in. Use the neck pickup and set the amp clean, just short of breakup. Tuning isn't documented here.
