From ...Ma cosa vuoi che sia una canzone... (1978). ...Ma cosa vuoi che sia una canzone... ("...But what's a song anyway...") is the debut studio album by Italian rock singer-songwriter Vasco Rossi, released by Lotus in 1978. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Vasco Rossi's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
