clear, piano-like attackdeep but not boomy low endslightly scooped midsarticulate and percussivetight, focused bottomfast transient responseslight compression for evennessno audible drive or fuzz
Difficulty
The clean section requires solid fingerstyle technique at a brisk tempo, but the lines are mostly root-based with some fills. The main challenge is maintaining clarity and articulation at speed.
