From Life in General (1996). Life in General is the third studio album by the American punk rock band MxPx, released on November 19, 1996. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for MxPx's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
