From The Opposite of December... A Season of Separation (1999). The Opposite of December... A Season of Separation is a 1999 studio album by Poison the Well. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Poison the Well's other songs from The Opposite of December... A Season of Separation, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.
