Epica – Solitary Ground (Guitar Tab)

Track number 4 Consign To Oblivion (2005) Well actually the guitar is not that important on this song, the important thing here is voice and the orchestra, I´m giving you the chords for you o follow the song and the voice, is not hard, also you 2 kinds of distortion, one for the firs part of the chorus (a not so distorted one), and the other to use when sings "that I call home..." (a lot of distotion). The song is basicly in Bm everything can be figured out form This is a great song ant the tab works for both, the single and the recorded vertion. Intro:no guitar, just flute and violin. (Here is the intro arrenge for guitar) []=Violin (from the second line and on, the violin plays the higher octave [play both the one you preffer]) - - =Flute
