From Besos de perro (2002). Besos de perro is the third studio album by Spanish rock band Marea released on 19 April 2002. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall JCM2000 TSL100, the rig we use for Marea's other songs from Besos de perro, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
