Recording notes

From Mamonas Assassinas (1995). A bouncy, upbeat pop-rock song with bright, crunchy rhythm guitar. 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 moderate crunch. Tuning isn't documented here.
