Notes

Studio recording, 2002 (from 'Black Letter Days' sessions). Frank Black & The Catholics were known for live-to-2-track analog recording with minimal overdubs. Gear is inferred from era, band interviews, and typical rig; no explicit source confirms exact amp for this song, but Telecaster into Fender Twin is strongly supported for this era and style.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate slide technique, dynamic control to manage amp breakup, and precise articulation to maintain clarity on a crunchy, articulate tone.
