From Bebe le Strange (1980). Bébé le Strange is the fifth studio album by American rock band Heart, released on February 13, 1980, by Epic Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Heart's other songs from Bébé le Strange, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
