Recording notes

From Summertime Blues (2022). Summertime Blues is the second EP by American singer-songwriter Zach Bryan. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Telecaster through a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 212 IV, the nearest rig we use for Zach Bryan's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
