From Tierra (1994). Tierra is the second studio album by L'Arc-en-Ciel, released on July 14, 1994. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 212 IV, the rig we use for L'Arc-en-Ciel's other songs from Tierra, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck and middle pickups together. Standard tuning.
