Recording notes

From Don't Believe the Truth (2005). A mid-tempo Don't Believe the Truth track with a loose, strummed guitar bed. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Vox AC30 C2 stands in. Set the amp at a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
