Notes

Studio recording, 1978. Guitar and amp inferred from era, album, and multiple forum discussions referencing Yamaha SG and Roland JC-120 as Takanaka's main clean setup for 'Brasilian Skies'. No explicit pedalboard or amp photo from the studio session found.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate-level chord voicings, tight rhythmic precision, and dynamic control to maintain the glassy clean tone and articulation characteristic of Takanaka's style.
