From Greatest Lovesongs Vol. 666 (1997). Greatest Lovesongs Vol. 666 is the debut studio album by Finnish rock band HIM. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall Valvestate VS100, the rig we use for HIM's other songs from Greatest Lovesongs Vol. 666, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
