From Made Up Mind (2013). A shuffling blues-rocker with a gritty, mid-forward guitar tone. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Fender '65 Super Reverb Reissue stands in. Set the amp at a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
