From El Bueno y el Malo (2022). El Bueno y el Malo ("The Good and the Bad") is the fifth studio album by Ecuadorian-Swiss band Hermanos Gutiérrez, consisting of brothers Estevan and Alejandro Gutiérrez. It features Dan Auerbach, who also produced the album. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, a spring-reverb Tex-Mex rock pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
