From Whiskey Myers (2019). Whiskey Myers is the fifth album by the American rock band Whiskey Myers, released on 27 September 2019 by Wiggy Thump Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired, the rig we use for Whiskey Myers' other songs from Whiskey Myers, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
