Recording notes

From III (2005). III is the fourth studio album by American country music artist Joe Nichols. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, a twangy country-rock pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
