From Au cœur de la nuit (1980). Au cœur de la nuit is an album by French rock band Téléphone, released in 1980. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Téléphone's other songs from Au cœur de la nuit, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
