From Made in Heaven (1995). Made in Heaven is the fifteenth and final studio album by the British rock band Queen, released on 6 November 1995 by Parlophone Records in the United Kingdom and by Hollywood Records in the United States. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Brian May Guitars Red Special through a Vox AC30HW2 Hand-Wired, the rig we use for Queen's other songs from Made in Heaven, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
