From Unbreakable (2004). A slow, melodic hard-rock ballad with clean arpeggios, a crunchy chorus and a singing lead. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender American Vintage '62 Stratocaster through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue stands in. Use the neck pickup and set the amp clean and chiming. Tuning isn't documented here.
