From El jardín de los presentes (1976). El jardín de los presentes is the third and final album by the Argentine rock band Invisible, released on 29 September 1976 by CBS. 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 Invisible's other songs from El jardín de los presentes, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
