From Q2K (1999). Q2K is the seventh studio album by American progressive metal band Queensrÿche, released on September 14, 1999. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Queensrÿche's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.
