From Abandon (1998). Abandon is the 16th studio album by the English hard rock band Deep Purple, released on 25 May 1998 in the United Kingdom and on 2 June 1998 in the United States. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall Major (200W) - 'The Pig', the nearest rig we use for Deep Purple's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
