From Ain't My Last Rodeo (2023). Ain't My Last Rodeo is the second studio album by the American country singer Riley Green. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Custom Shop 1956 Telecaster Heavy Relic through a Fender Deluxe Reverb, the nearest rig we use for Riley Green's other songs, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
