From Arrivederci, mostro! (2010). Arrivederci, mostro! is the tenth studio album by the Italian rock singer-songwriter Luciano Ligabue, released on 11 May 2010 by Warner Music Italy. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Ligabue's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
