From Mamonas Assassinas (1995). A frantic, humorous rock song with a crunchy, galloping guitar part. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Tagima TG-520 Woodstock through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb stands in. Use the bridge pickup and set the amp for a classic hard-rock crunch. Tuning isn't documented here.
