From Falling in Between (2006). Falling in Between is the twelfth studio album (though counted as the 13th album overall — see Toto XX) by American rock band Toto. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Music Man Axis through a Mesa Boogie Mark IIB, the rig we use for Toto's other songs from Falling in Between, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
