From Shudder (2008). Shudder is the fourth studio album by American rock band Bayside, released on September 30, 2008. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Bayside's other songs from Shudder, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
