From Weekend Man (2016). Weekend Man is the third studio album by Swedish rock band, Royal Republic. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Royal Republic's other songs from Weekend Man, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the neck and bridge pickups together. Standard tuning.
