Guitarist Marcus Jidell created a video highlighting his riffs & solos and states, “This is how I play the riffs from ‘Moonhorse’ and ‘Boneflower,’ but since both these solos are totally improvised, there wasn’t a chance that I could play the same thing again. So I did two new solos in front of the camera where I tried to put in the same feel as in the album solos. When I filmed this, I really felt how much I want to play these songs live. Can’t wait!! I hope you’ll enjoy.”
