From La Voz de los '80 (1984). La voz de los '80 (The voice of the '80s) is the debut studio album by the Chilean band Los Prisioneros, released independently under the Fusion label on December 13, 1984. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Los Prisioneros' other songs from La voz de los '80, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
