Recording notes

From Beloved (1996). Beloved is the fourth album by Japanese rock/pop band Glay. 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 GLAY's other songs from Beloved, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
