Recording notes

From Ode to Joy (2019). A bright, jangly rock song with chiming guitar and an upbeat feel. Guitar World's interview with Jeff Tweedy and Nels Cline covers the band's later rig rather than this record, and no source available here gives the guitar or amp for it. So a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Fender '68 Custom Vibrolux Reverb stands in. Set the amp on the edge of breakup and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
