From Gli spari sopra (1993). Gli spari sopra is the tenth studio album by Italian singer-songwriter Vasco Rossi, released in 1993. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Vasco Rossi's other songs from Gli spari sopra, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
