Notes

Studio recording, 1995 (Sueño Stereo album). The Jackson Soloist San Dimas was Cerati's main guitar for this era and is confirmed for the album/tour. The Roland GP-8 was his primary effects/preamp unit for Soda Stereo in the 1990s, with the Eventide H3000 UltraHarmonizer for delay/modulation. Exact power amp is not confirmed for the studio, but live he often used Marshall or similar. No evidence of Fender or Vox amps for this song/era.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, percussive picking with palm muting and precise timing, as well as clean articulation to maintain clarity through modulation and delay effects. The technical challenge is moderate due to rhythmic complexity and tone control.
