From Corsicana Lemonade (2013). Corsicana Lemonade is the sixth full-length studio album by Austin, Texas-based band White Denim. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for White Denim's other songs from Corsicana Lemonade, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
