Notes

Studio recording for 'Over You' (2006). No direct source confirms the exact guitar/amp for this song, but Daughtry's debut album is widely reported to use Les Pauls and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifiers for main riffs. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this riff section. Settings estimated based on typical modern rock studio practice for this genre/era.
