From Red. White. Green. (2012). Red. White. Green. is a 2012 studio album by Upon a Burning Body. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 6505+, the nearest rig we use for Upon a Burning Body's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop A (A E A D F♯ B).
