From The Clearing (2025). A warm, melodic track from The Clearing, with a lightly overdriven guitar. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender Player Jaguar through an Orange Rockerverb 100 MkIII stands in. Set the amp at a light edge-of-breakup and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
