Notes

Studio recording, 2016-2017 era, gear inferred from genre, band interviews, and typical studio setups for ONE OK ROCK. No direct studio photo evidence for this exact track, but Mesa Rectifier and ESP Eclipse with EMGs are widely documented as Toru's main studio rig for this era. Cabinet likely Mesa 4x12 with Celestion Vintage 30s. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise palm muting, tight timing, and the ability to maintain clarity under high-gain settings. Layering and clean transitions add to the challenge, making it moderately difficult for intermediate players.
