From Seal the Deal & Let's Boogie (2016). A swampy rock'n'roll-metal track with a chugging, bluesy riff and a big chorus. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Gretsch G6136T White Falcon through a Peavey 6505+ stands in. Use the bridge pickup and set the amp for a classic hard-rock crunch. Tuning isn't documented here.
