From Take Them On, On Your Own (2003). Take Them On, On Your Own is the second studio album by American rock band Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Jaguar through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
