Description
Any acoustic guitar can be used to play this song.
For the electric, I’m using a Stratocaster guitar for this song, but any electric guitar is suitable. I’ve selected the bridge pickup for a bright, clear tone.
A Fender tube amp is the best choice to replicate the tones heard in this tune. Dial in a clean - right on the edge of breakup - sound - for example, set the Preamp Gain to 45%, Bass to 50%, Mids to 55%, Treble to 60%, and Presence to 60%.
For the chorus and outro, kick in a distortion or fuzz pedal for Guitar 1 to get a thick crunch sound. Add a touch of reverb to both guitars for depth.
I’m using regular light gauge strings that are 10-46 along with a heavy pick to dig right in. That said, if you are able to keep a guitar in this lower tuning, perhaps experiment with slightly heavier gage strings.
