From Rivermaya (1994). Rivermaya is the self-titled debut studio album by Filipino rock band Rivermaya, released in November 1994, by Musiko Records & BMG Records (Pilipinas), Inc. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Standard Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2204, the rig we use for Rivermaya's other songs from Rivermaya, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
