From Senderos de traición (1990). A driving Spanish rock track with ringing, overdriven guitar and a big chorus. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender Eric Clapton Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Use the bridge pickup and set the amp for a classic hard-rock crunch. Tuning isn't documented here.
