Salt Of The Earth

Description

Any acoustic guitar can be used to play this song. For the electric, I’m using a Telecaster guitar for this song, but any electric guitar is suitable. I’ve selected the bridge pickup for a bright, crisp tone. Both guitars are tuned to Open E.

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 45%, Mids to 55%, Treble to 60%, and Presence to 60%.

Add some 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. As for the acoustic, I’m using a medium pick along with 11-52 string gauge.
