From Forevermore (2011). Forevermore is the eleventh studio album by English rock band Whitesnake. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig to the one documented for Whitesnake, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
