Studio recording, 1999. Gear based on interviews, photos, and era-typical HIM studio setup. No direct source for solo section, but Linde's main studio rig for this album is well-documented.

Difficulty

The solo requires good control of bends and vibrato, as well as timing and phrasing to match the lush effects, but does not feature advanced shred techniques.
