From Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 2 (2018). Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 2 (often shortened to COWYS Pt. 2) is the second studio album by American rapper Lil Peep. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Lil Peep's other songs from Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 2, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
