Notes

Studio recording for 'Ultimate Sacrifice' (2017). Syu is confirmed to use the ESP E-II Arrow 7-string with EMG pickups and the Hughes & Kettner Coreblade for this album's rhythm tones. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this specific song's riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced picking speed, tight palm muting, and precise rhythm execution on a 7-string guitar, making it highly challenging even for experienced players.
