From Felicidade Instantânea (2005). Felicidade Instantânea is a 2005 studio album by CPM 22. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for CPM 22's other songs from Felicidade Instantânea, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
