From Buoni o cattivi (2004). Buoni o cattivi is the fourteenth studio album by Italian singer-songwriter Vasco Rossi, released on 2 April 2004 by EMI. The album's personnel list credits Stef Burns and Michael Landau with electric guitar. 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 Buoni o cattivi, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
