From Marca Chancho (2000). Marca Chancho is a 2000 studio album by Chancho en Piedra. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 212 IV, the nearest rig we use for Chancho en Piedra's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the middle and bridge pickups together. Standard tuning.
