From Split Your Lip (2010). Split Your Lip is the eighth studio album by Swedish hard rock band Hardcore Superstar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Hardcore Superstar's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.
