From The Feel Good Record of the Year (2008). The Feel Good Record of the Year is the eighth and final studio album by punk rock band No Use for a Name. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for No Use for a Name's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
