Recording notes

From Home, Like Noplace Is There (2014). Home, Like Noplace Is There is the second studio album by American rock band The Hotelier. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 212 IV, the rig we use for The Hotelier's other songs from Home, Like Noplace Is There, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
