From When Broken Is Easily Fixed (2003). When Broken Is Easily Fixed is the debut studio album by the Canadian post-hardcore band Silverstein, released in 2003 under the label Victory Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Studio through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Silverstein's other songs from When Broken Is Easily Fixed, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
