From Surviving (2019). An upbeat rock song with ringing, overdriven chords and a sing-along hook. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender Jim Adkins JA-90 Telecaster Thinline through a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Use the bridge pickup and set the amp for a moderate crunch. Tuning isn't documented here.
