From Habitaciones Extrañas (1987). Habitaciones Extrañas is a 1987 studio album by Los Enanitos Verdes. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Los Enanitos Verdes' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
