From Rock Dust Light Star (2010). Rock Dust Light Star is the seventh studio album by English band Jamiroquai. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Squier JV Stratocaster through a Mesa Boogie Lone Star, the rig we use for Jamiroquai's other songs from Rock Dust Light Star, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
