From Raditude (2009). Raditude is the seventh studio album by American rock band Weezer, released on November 3, 2009, and is their final album on DGC and Interscope Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Weezer's other songs from Raditude, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
