Artist: Blind Guardian Album: Tales from the twilight world Song: Lord of the rings Tab author: Mauro - Coimbra, Portugal As always, tuning dropped half a step down My second tab, gentlemen. I'm getting the hang of it... I wanted to start from the beginning of the BG albums with Majesty after doing my first tab(And the story ends), But I decided to transcribe Lord of the rings after hearing it for the hundreth time. All the other tabs were too damned incomplete and some were significantly wrong. Here is out I play it... It's not a 100%, like no tab can be, but I did my best. Hope you enjoy.
