Recording notes

From Un día normal (2002). Un Día Normal (English: A Normal Day) is the second studio album recorded by Colombian singer-songwriter Juanes, It was released by Surco Records on 21 May 2002. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Standard Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Juanes' other songs from Un día normal, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
