From Fear of the Dawn (2022). Fear of the Dawn is the fourth studio album by the American rock musician Jack White, released on April 8, 2022, through Third Man Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Jack White's other songs from Fear of the Dawn, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
