From Material defectuoso (2011). A raw, emotional Spanish rock track with thick, overdriven guitars. No source documents the guitar or amp on this track, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom into a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Set a light-to-medium crunch on the bridge pickup and dig in harder for the louder sections. Tuning isn't documented here.
