From Oktubre (1986). Oktubre is the second studio album by Argentine rock band Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota, released in 1986. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota's other songs from Oktubre, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
