From La Mosca y la Sopa (1991). La mosca y la sopa (English: The fly and the soup) is the fifth album by Argentine rock band Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota, released in 1991. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota's other songs from La Mosca y la Sopa, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
