Here's Giants from Helloween (The best band in the world!!)
This song is from the Chameleon album, if you don't know this song,
well go buy the album, it's worth it!!!!

                                                                (the solo
                                                                begins here)

Now the rest of the band enter :

(the rythm line is played 3 other times (the 3rd & 4th times, you must play
                                                       4
 third chords instead of fifth. So the Chord diagramD MajorD chords become 5, the Chord diagramC majorC chords become
 2                         5
 3 and the Chord diagramE MajorE chord becomes 7 !!))

(Now we're at the first verse).

(Now the chorus)

|-------------|-----------|-----------|--------------------|  I'm not sure
|-------------|-----------|-----------|--H-P---------------|  that the last

|-10---10-9---|-9---9-10--|-----------|----------2---------|  anyway I found
|----0--------|---0-------|---0-------|--------0-0---0-2-3-|  that it sounds
                                                              good.
(At this point, you must play the 1st rythm line 2 times,
 the first time with fifth chords and the second time with third chords.)

(Here's another verse, pre-chorus and chorus. They're played like the others)

Deprived of thier consiousness, we ...

(Again play the first rythm line 2 times (1st time with 5th, 2nd time with 3rd))

(Now it's time for the bridge (if we can call it like this))

Play 4 bars of 16th Low Chord diagramE MajorE note then play this riff :
|-12----12--10----10|-8-----8---7-------|
|----12--------10---|----8---------8--7-|   <--Second guit (that's actually
|-------------------|-------------------|      the keyboard)
|-9-----9---7-----7-|-5-----5---4-------|
|-7--9--7---5--7--5-|-3--5--3---2--5--4-|   <--First guit
|----7---------5----|----3---------3--2-|

Play those 6 bars 3 times then you're in for the solos.

(Here's the rythm section of the solo (the solo itself is at the end of this
 document)

The chords are always struck at the beginning of a bar.

A5.......B5.......Here you must play the last 2 bars of the so-called bridge
And after that you play the first 2 bars of the 1st rythm line (chords are 5th)

Play this pattern again for the second solo (played by Micheal Weikath, the
first one is played by Roland Grapow)

At the end of the solos you must play again the last 2 bars of the bridge.

(Now there's another verse, prechorus and chorus that are played like the
other but the second guitar plays something diff'rent:)

(Again you must do the 1st rythm line (1st -> 5th chords & 2nd -> 3rd chords)

Can't you see it........

(Now do 3 times the last 2 bars of the bridge...The 1st & 2nd time, do it
 without the keyboard part and the 3rd time, play both guitar and keyboard)

Can't you feel it....wooohooowoooo!

(The 1st gtr play an Chord diagramE5E5 chord at the end of the song while the 2nd gtr play
this part :)

 (*) Bend a whole note and sustain
 (**) Pick the note and then realease the previous bend.

 The last 3 (or 4) bars of the solo are too difficult to transcribe... but
 keep in mind that the solo is in Chord diagramE MajorE aeolien (Chord diagramE MajorE Chord diagramF#F# Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramA augmentedA Chord diagramBB Chord diagramC majorC Chord diagramD MajorD).  I know that
 this solo ends with the lowest Chord diagramG+G (3rd fret of the 6th string).

 That's it folks!  Hope you enjoy this transcription.
