-----2--2--2----4tr5---2---2---2--4tr5--2--2-----------2---2--2---4tr5---2---4--5--7-------------------------------------- Did not manage to work out the last guitar run and the solo for a few reasons a) still in school, too time consuming b) michael romeo's solos are impossible and even when transcribed i can't seem to play that quickly and accurately c) how do you work out his solos? it's very hard to hear all the notes (p.s hats off to noghy and fable reckless and the rest of the posters who manage to pull it off) There may be a few inconsistencies. I'm really sorry if there are, i'd love to get corrections and responses (tunedtone@hotmail.com) but at this time, school work and my own music examinations take priority. That and i'm reading Salinger's "the catcher in the rye". I'm aware of some really shocking mistakes but again, i really don't have the time. This tab should be a starting point for people looking to learn the song. I do promise to correct it the second i get my guitar retuned down to D. So to all symphony x fans, i'm sure you'll have no problem playing this song even though i didn't finish it. Besides, if you're good enough to play any symphony x, then any mistakes in my transcription you will find very simple to fix. Just to inform you, my music and theory skills need a lot of work.. my practical skills are a lot better than my theory. If i may have something incorrect regarding a key change or something, i'd also love to know :) I may possibly do the rest of the song, although there isn't much more to do. I don't normally transcribe music because there are tabs already available. However, as you can see.. i'm not so good at it :) Best of luck in playing this song, i found most of it quite simple - but a lot of fun. ! Yon.
