Notes

Studio recording for 'Koi No Yokan' (2012); gear confirmed for album era and studio use, not live. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this song's riff section.

Difficulty

The riff demands tight palm muting, precise rhythm, and control over the low F# string on an 8-string guitar, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
