One of the loudest songs on Lavô Tá Novo (1995), the Raimundos album that blended hardcore punk and forró. The guitar is a thick, heavily distorted rhythm sound, and the forró colour comes from the rest of the band. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Les Paul through a JCM800 stands in. Use the bridge pickup with a tight, high-gain punk crunch. Tuning isn't documented here.
