From Acariciando lo Áspero (1991). Heavy, riff-driven Argentine rock with a thick, overdriven guitar tone. No source documents the guitar or amp on this track, so a Gibson Les Paul Classic into a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Set a medium-high crunch on the bridge pickup and keep the low end tight. The rest of the album is in standard tuning, so that is assumed here.
