Recording notes

From El Número Imperfecto (2004). El Número Imperfecto is a 2004 studio album by Catupecu Machu. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Vintera '60s Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Catupecu Machu's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
