Recording notes

From Come On Over (1997). Bright, punchy country-rock with a crisp, twangy electric guitar. No source documents the guitar or amp on this track, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster into a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue stands in. Set a light-to-medium crunch on the bridge pickup and dig in harder for the louder sections. The rest of the album is in standard tuning, so that is assumed here.
