Why these settings

This track has no traditional guitar tone to match — it is fully electronic production. These settings give you a dark, clean, atmospheric tone that fits the song's mood if you want to play the Fm-based chord progression along with it. The Yamaha ERG121 is a practice amp with basic EQ; low gain and rolled-back tone knob on neck pickup creates the moody, subdued character that complements this Dark R&B vibe.

PRO TIPPlay the Fm and F chord shapes as sparse, arpeggiated voicings high on the neck (8th-10th fret) with palm-muted single notes to match the minimal, cinematic atmosphere — strumming full chords will clash with this production style.
