From Lo más lejos a tu lado (2003). Lo más lejos a tu lado is a 2003 studio album by Fito y Fitipaldis. 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.
