From Rock the Rebel / Metal the Devil (2007). A rockabilly-flavoured metal track with a driving, chunky riff and a melodic chorus. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Gibson Flying V through a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Use the bridge pickup and set the amp for a classic hard-rock crunch. Tuning isn't documented here.
