The recording
On the 2019 single "Chasin' You" the mix includes a distorted electric guitar that provides melodic fills and subtle rhythmic support beneath the vocal. The part was likely recorded in a Nashville studio with the guitar tracked through a high‑gain channel, but the exact make of the guitar, amp, and effects has never been disclosed in interviews or studio notes. The distortion tone is audible throughout the verses and choruses, layered with clean acoustic guitars that give the arrangement its country feel.

Practical playing approach
Recreation guidance, not a claim about undocumented studio control positions.
- 1.Use a light‑touch hybrid picking for the clean acoustic‑style fills.
- 2.Set your electric tone to a bright, slightly overdriven sound with the neck pickup rolled off.
- 3.Emphasize the rhythmic chord stabs on beats 2 and 4 to match the song’s groove.
- 4.Add a subtle pinch harmonic at the end of the lead phrase for extra sparkle.
