Notes
Studio recording, 2016. Plini has stated he used his Strandberg Boden 6 with Juggernaut pickups for Handmade Cities. Amp tones were created using amp modelers/plugins, not a physical tube amp. No evidence of live rig or tube amp for the studio version.

Difficulty
The solo requires advanced legato, tapping, and phrasing skills, with fast runs and complex rhythmic groupings typical of modern progressive metal/fusion. Expressive dynamics and vibrato add to the technical challenge.
