Notes

Studio recording, 1985-1986. No explicit photo or interview evidence for this exact song, but all available era sources and live videos from 1986-87 show Cerati using a Stratocaster into a Roland JC-120 for the classic Soda Stereo clean/modulated sound. No evidence of other guitars or amps for this song's riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, syncopated rhythm playing with clean articulation and dynamic picking to achieve the slight breakup and modulated shimmer characteristic of the recording. While not technically advanced, it demands precision and control.
