Recording notes

From El Silencio (1992). A mid-tempo rock song with a clean, chorused guitar and a soaring chorus. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender Vintera '60s Stratocaster through a Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus stands in. Use the bridge pickup and set the amp clean and chiming. Tuning isn't documented here.
