From Bocas Ordinárias (2002). Bocas Ordinárias is the fifth album by Brazilian alternative rock band Charlie Brown Jr., released in December 2002 by EMI. The album's personnel list credits Marcão with guitars. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Charlie Brown Jr.'s other songs from Bocas Ordinárias, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
