From Lavô Tá Novo, the 1995 Raimundos album that fused hardcore punk with forró. The guitar sound is thick and heavily distorted, played hard on the bridge pickup. 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.
