From Imunidade Musical (2005). A melodic, mid-tempo rock song with crunchy rhythm guitar and a bright, singalong chorus. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Use the bridge pickup and set the amp for a moderate crunch. Tuning isn't documented here.
