Photograph

Amp settings (as recorded)

The recording

Photograph was recorded for the album 'x' (Multiply). The studio sound is defined by a clean, dry acoustic signal, often relying on high-quality studio preamps and compression in the DAW (Logic Pro) rather than guitar amplifiers. The riff's percussive quality is achieved through specific palm-muting techniques on a 3/4 size guitar, often utilizing DADGAD tuning to allow for ringing open chords while maintaining a tight, muted rhythmic texture.
