Live performance at Chuo Kaikan Hall, Tokyo, Feb. 1982. Gear confirmed via video and Equipboard for this era. Not the later SG-IN signature model. No evidence of studio overdubs; this is a live recording.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced technical skill due to its fast tempo, complex phrasing, and the need to control both dynamics and effects for a polished jazz-fusion lead sound.
