Notes

Studio recording, 2008 (World World World era). No direct evidence for 'Neoteny' session, but this guitar and amp are strongly associated with Gotoh Masafumi's rhythm tones on the album and are cited as his main setup for this period. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this specific riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise, fast alternate picking and tight palm muting at a brisk tempo, with syncopated rhythms that demand good timing and control.
