From Por la boca vive el pez (2006). Por la Boca Vive el Pez (English: The Fish Lives Through Its Mouth) is the fourth studio album by Spanish rock band Fito & Fitipaldis, released by DRO on 11 September 2006. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Custom Shop 1963 Stratocaster Closet Classic through a Fender Deluxe Reverb, the rig we use for Fito y Fitipaldis' other songs from Por la boca vive el pez, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
