Electric Worry
Clutch's swampy, swaggering anthem from 2007's From Beale Street to Oblivion, cut with Joe Barresi at Sound City. Tim Sult's tone is a masterclass in restraint: a Gibson SG straight into a cranked vintage Marshall JMP and a 1960 cab with V30s -- mid-forward, raw, and built almost entirely on open strings. No fuzz, no octave tricks on the riff, just guitar into amp. Standard E (confirmed by Sult himself).
