From One Chord to Another (1996). One Chord to Another is the third studio album by the Canadian rock band Sloan, released in Canada in June 1996. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Sloan's other songs from One Chord to Another, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
