From Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow (2007). Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow (often shortened to No World for Tomorrow), is the fourth studio album by American progressive rock band Coheed and Cambria, released on October 23, 2007. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gretsch G6136T White Falcon through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Coheed and Cambria's other songs from Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
