Recording notes

From Hemingway's Whiskey (2010). Hemingway's Whiskey is the thirteenth studio album by American country music artist Kenny Chesney. 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, the rig we use for Kenny Chesney's other songs from Hemingway's Whiskey, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

FAQ

Common Questions About the "Somewhere with You" Tone

  1. What guitar did Kenny Chesney use on "Somewhere with You"?

    The guitar on "Somewhere with You" (released 2010) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "Somewhere with You" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 6.5. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.

  3. Can I play "Somewhere with You" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Somewhere with You" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
