From Sunami (2023). Sunami is a 2023 studio album by Sunami. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Peavey 5150 II, the rig we use for Sunami's other songs from Sunami, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop B (B F♯ B E G♯ C♯).
