From Avalancha (1995). Avalancha (Spanish for "Avalanche") is the fourth and final studio album released by Spanish rock band Héroes del Silencio in 1995. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Héroes del Silencio's other songs from Avalancha, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
