Recording notes

From Bonanza (2012). Bonanza is the sixth studio album by Mexican rock band Panda, released on 16 March 2012, through Movic and EMI Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 22 through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Panda's other songs from Bonanza, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
