Notes
Studio recording, original 1982 release. Guitar confirmed as Yamaha IN-1 (Noro's signature model for this era). Amp confirmed as Yamaha DG-1000 preamp, which was Noro's main studio preamp in the early/mid 1980s. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for the studio solo section.

The solo is technically demanding due to its fast tempo, intricate phrasing, and the need for precise articulation and dynamic control, making it challenging even for advanced players.
