From Amar es Combatir (2006). Amar Es Combatir (English: "To Love Is To Fight") is the seventh studio album released by the Mexican pop rock band Maná. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender Super-Sonic 22, the rig we use for Maná's other songs from Amar Es Combatir, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck and middle pickups together. Standard tuning.
