Notes

Studio recording, 2018-2019 era. Both Jinya and Shiren use 7-string guitars (ESP E-II Horizon FR-7 and Strandberg Boden Original 7) with Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers. Amp tone is based on Peavey 5150/6534+ models, often via Fractal AX8 amp modeler. Overdrive pedal (TS9-type) used as a boost for rhythm. No evidence of time-based or modulation effects in riff section. Settings estimated based on genre, amp, and artist interviews.

Difficulty

The riff section features fast, precise picking, palm muting, and technical 7-string patterns typical of modern metal, requiring advanced right-hand control and left-hand accuracy.
