Lord Of The Rings Tab by Blind Guardian

Lord Of The Rings tab by Blind Guardian

Guitar Tab

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.
