From Lo más lejos a tu lado (2003). Lo Más Lejos a Tu Lado (English: The Furthest Next to You) is the third studio album by Spanish rock band Fito & Fitipaldis, released by DRO on 1 September 2003. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Telecaster Plus through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Fito y Fitipaldis' other songs from Lo Más Lejos a Tu Lado, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
