From Una giornata uggiosa (1980). Una giornata uggiosa (A gloomy day) is the fourteenth studio album by the Italian singer and songwriter Lucio Battisti. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Vintera '60s Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Lucio Battisti's other songs, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
