Recording notes

From Good & Evil (2011). Good & Evil is the second studio album by American rock band Tally Hall, released on June 21, 2011, by Quack! Media. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Tally Hall's other songs from Good & Evil, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
