Recording notes

From You Get What You Give (2010). You Get What You Give is the second studio album by American country music group Zac Brown Band. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Custom Shop 1968 Telecaster Heavy Relic through a Matchless DC-30, the rig we use for Zac Brown Band's other songs from You Get What You Give, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.

  3. Can I play "Keep Me in Mind" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Keep Me in Mind" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
