From Larga vida al Rock and Roll (1981). Larga vida al Rock and Roll (English: Long Live Rock and Roll) is the debut album by the Spanish heavy metal band Barón Rojo. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Flying V through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Barón Rojo's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
