From Mi ciudad (1997). Mi ciudad is an album by the Spanish heavy metal band Saratoga, released in 1997. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP M-II Original Series through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Saratoga's other songs from Mi ciudad, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
