From Lo Que Te Conté Mientras Te Hacías la Dormida (2003). Lo Que Te Conté Mientras Te Hacías la Dormida is a 2003 studio album by La Oreja de Van Gogh. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Vintera '60s Stratocaster through a Fender Deluxe Reverb, the rig we use for La Oreja de Van Gogh's other songs from Lo que te conté mientras te hacías la dormida, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
