Recording notes

From SZNZ: Spring (2022). A light, melodic power-pop track. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Special through a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Set the amp at a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
