From Fin de Siglo (1998). Fin de Siglo (End of Century) (1998) is the fifteenth studio album by Mexican rock and blues band El Tri. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for El Tri's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
