From Indomable (2003). Indomable is a 2003 studio album by Tierra Santa. 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 nearest rig we use for Tierra Santa's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
