From Dangerous: The Double Album (2021). A mid-tempo Dangerous track with clean, twangy electric guitar fills over acoustic strumming. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender Deluxe Reverb (Blackface) stands in. Set the amp clean with a little edge and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
