From Muzai Moratorium (1999). Muzai Moratorium is the 1999 debut album by the Japanese singer-songwriter Ringo Sheena. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, a driven alternative-rock pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
