From Everything Under the Sun (2026). Everything Under the Sun is the eleventh studio album by the Canadian rock band Nickelback. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier, the rig we use for Nickelback's other songs from Everything Under the Sun, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).
