Notes

Studio recording for 'Magic Disk' (2010). Gotoh Masafumi used this guitar and amp combination for the album, with the Supersonic primarily as his distortion amp. No explicit evidence of additional pedals for the riff section; overdrive may be from amp or pedal, but no pedal confirmed for this part.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to its fast tempo, precise alternate picking, and dynamic strumming with palm muting, but does not involve advanced techniques or complex chord voicings.
