Siberian Khatru
(guitar parts by Steve Howe)
transcribed by [email protected]
The parts may look disjointed, but it should all make sense once you
get the different riffs down. Of course, following along with the
record is a good idea. I just cranked out a quick 'fake' for the
harpsichord stuff because in the band I'm in now I have to do something
since all the keyboard stuff is done via my MIDI guitar.
