Recording notes

From Power Play (1982). A punchy, mid-tempo hard-rock track with a crunchy riff and a bright lead. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue stands in. Use the bridge pickup and set the amp for a classic hard-rock crunch. Tuning isn't documented here.
