From Entering Heaven Alive (2022). A loose, bluesy mid-tempo rocker with a gritty, slightly fuzzy guitar and a stuttering riff. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender Player II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue stands in. Use the bridge pickup and set the amp for a classic hard-rock crunch. Tuning isn't documented here.
