From Music from Regions Beyond (2007). Music from Regions Beyond is the fourth full-length Tiger Army album, released on June 5, 2007. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gretsch G5420T Electromatic Classic Hollow Body Single-Cut through a Fender '59 Bassman LTD Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Tiger Army's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
