From Igra s Ognyom (1989). Igra s Ognyom (Playing with Fire) is the fourth studio album by Aria, first issued as a reel-to-reel tape album in March 1989 and pressed on vinyl by Melodiya in 1990. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Aria's other songs from Igra s Ognyom, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
