From Come On Over (1997). Come On Over is the third studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Shania Twain. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Shania Twain's other songs from Come On Over, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
