Recording notes

From El camino del fuego (2002). El camino del fuego is a 2002 studio album by Rata Blanca. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Standard Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Rata Blanca's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
