Notes

Studio recording, 2018 (Golden Hour album). No direct evidence of electric guitar or amp in the solo section; likely a mic'd acoustic or DI with minimal processing. No pedalboard or amp evidence for this specific recording. Gear list is based on photographic and interview evidence of Musgraves' primary acoustic for this era.

Difficulty

The solo is technically straightforward but requires clean fingerpicking, dynamic control, and accuracy due to the exposed, dry acoustic tone.
