Notes
Studio recording, year 2016-2017 (album 'Kadath', released 2016). No evidence of live rig or alternate gear for this solo. All evidence points to direct-in recording using Line 6 POD xt for amp and effects simulation. No evidence of physical amp or cab used.

Difficulty
The solo requires control of sustained notes and expressive vibrato, while managing clarity in a dense, ambient mix with heavy effects. The tempo is slow, but phrasing and dynamics are key for the atmospheric style.
