From A Girl Called Cerveza (2012). A Girl Called Cerveza is the fifteenth studio album by the German thrash metal band Tankard released through Nuclear Blast Records, released on 27 July 2012. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson USA Select Randy Rhoads RR1 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Tankard's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
