From When Love Finds You (1994). When Love Finds You is the sixth 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 Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Vince Gill's other songs from When Love Finds You, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
