Chords

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the Album "The Scarecrow" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Dragozan Email: [email protected] Tuning: Standard This is my first tab that i figured out for myself. The Solo uses a similar note cluster to the lead intro, so you can have a shot at figuring out the intro from this too. It's fairly easy. Enjoy, and feel free to comment or correct anything This riff is using the key of A# major I Think

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------3-4~--4-3-4-3h4p3p1--------------------------------------------|
G|--3----3-5----------------------3--------3/5-3-----------------------------|
D|-----3---------------------------------3-----------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

This second lick uses A# Major too, but at an octave higher. Octaves aside, its exactly the same notes as the first riff, except for the ending, which stoops into higher notes of the A# Major scale

e|-----------------10-11~--11-10-11-10h11p10p8------------13/15--13----------|
B|--/11-----11-13-------------------------------11----11---------------------|
G|-------10------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

And the whole solo ends on this riff, still in A# Major

e|---11-10-11-10h11p10-------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------11----------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

I've tried to put in as much theory as i can into the descriptions, to give you an idea of how i figured this one out. It's a great solo, and so easy to play, for something as epic-sounding Thanks :) Update: Here's a version of the tab in half-step-down tuning (Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb). Avantasia normally play in flatted tuning like tihs, so this may be of use to you:

G|--4----4-6----------------------4--------4/6-4-----------------------------|
