Episode - Stratovarius
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Holla!!this is a classic instrumental by one of my favourite bands...
in my mind the greatest neoclassical(or is it neoclassic?)metal band
there is....
There was 1 other tab of this on UG, but it didnt have the rythm part,
(the arpeggios going on throughout the song) and even the guitar lead
didnt sound right to me, so i thought i'd tab it myself.
I'm pretty sure it's 100 % right. :).
plz rate it, n feel free to mail me any suggestions.
Rock on!!!
RYTHM(keyboards, I think; sounds great on clean or acoustic nonetheless):
(it's the intro, and goes on throughout the song as well).
