From 7 Vezes (2008). 7 Vezes (Portuguese: 7 Times, stylized as "7X") is the seventh album by Brazilian band O Rappa. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for O Rappa's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
