Speed:
1.0x
This song is mostly synths so the synth parts are transcribed for guitar.
There is a few parts that are actually guitar though. Like many songs on this album
it uses a SYNTH9 Pedal, so most of the overdrive parts are probably using that pedal.
There's a number of things to read in this one, so take your time learning.
