From Yo, minoría absoluta (2002). Yo, minoría absoluta is a 2002 studio album by Extremoduro. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Extremoduro's other songs from Yo, minoría absoluta, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
