Recording notes

From La culpa (2003). La culpa is a 2003 studio album by Los Bunkers. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Los Bunkers' other songs from La culpa, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
