From Music (1993). Music is the debut studio album by American rock band 311. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Standard 24 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for 311's other songs from Music, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
