From Acabou Chorare (1972). Acabou Chorare ('No More Crying') is the second studio album by Brazilian rock and MPB group Novos Baianos. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Vintera '60s Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Novos Baianos' other songs from Acabou Chorare, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
