From Band of Brothers (2012). Band of Brothers is the third studio album by American heavy metal band Hellyeah. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Hellyeah's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).
