Recording notes

From I Still Believe in You (1992). I Still Believe in You is the fifth studio album from American country music artist Vince Gill. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage '52 Telecaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Vince Gill's other songs from I Still Believe in You, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
