Notes
Studio recording, 1988 (self-titled debut album). All gear and effects are based on studio use for the solo section of 'El Sueño De La Gitana'. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the solo; all sources point to Giardino's Strat and Marshall JCM800 as his main studio rig for this era.
