Recording notes

Released as a single in 2026. A loud, riff-driven rock track. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Set the amp high-gain and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
