From Clics Modernos (1983). Clics Modernos is the second solo studio album by the Argentine musician Charly García, released on 5 November 1983 by SG Discos. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Charly García's other songs from Clics Modernos, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
