From Un día normal (2002). A mid-tempo Colombian rock ballad with clean, arpeggiated electric guitar. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender American Standard Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue stands in. Set the amp on the edge of breakup and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
