From This Old Dog (2017). His third studio album, produced by Mac DeMarco and recorded in 2016, it was released on May 5, 2017 through Captured Tracks. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Teisco Del Rey Spectrum 5 through a Fender Champion 40, the nearest rig to the one documented for Mac DeMarco, stands in. Set the amp to a clean, lightly driven tone and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
