Recording notes

From Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord (2006). Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord is the debut studio album by American metalcore band The Devil Wears Prada. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for The Devil Wears Prada's other songs from Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.
