Description

This tune features both acoustic and electric guitars. Any acoustic is suitable to play this song, but one with a brighter tone will cut through the band a little easier.

As for electric, any guitar with single coil pickups is a great choice. The single coil pickup provides a bright spanky tone perfect for country pickin'.

As far as amps go, any Fender style tube amp is a great choice. Dial in a basic clean sound, and add some reverb for depth.

Here are the settings I used:

Fender Deluxe Model: Drive: 15% Bass: 55% Mid: 70% Treb: 65% Presence: 55%

Spring Reverb: WetDryMIX: 40%
