Notes

Studio recording for 'After Dark' (2008, 'World World World' album). Gotoh Masafumi is confirmed to use the Bad Cat Hot Cat 30R in the studio starting with this era. The Les Paul Special Doublecut with P-90s is documented as his main guitar for this period and song. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section in the studio recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, fast alternate picking and palm muting, with syncopated chord stabs and dynamic control to maintain clarity at tempo. Intermediate to advanced rhythm skills are needed.
