From Scenes (1992). Scenes is the second studio album by guitarist Marty Friedman, released on November 17, 1992 through Shrapnel Records (United States) and Roadrunner Records (Europe). No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson USA Select Kelly KE2 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Marty Friedman's other songs from Scenes, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
