From Von Hier an Blind (2005). Von hier an blind (German for Blind from here on) is the second album by Wir sind Helden, released on 4 April 2005 in Germany. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Wir sind Helden's other songs from Von hier an blind, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
