Amon Amarth

"Amon Amarth"

from the album: Once Sent from the Golden Halls

Transcribed by: Nick Beato (entity@cfl.rr.com)

Tuning (High to Low): C G D# A# F C (Key of C#m down 2 steps)

I've tried to space the notes out right, but some parts are kinda weird.

If you aren't sure what i mean, listen to the cd. Also, some riffs have

lead ins that are at the end of a section, i transcribed them there!!!

(Part 3's 1st guitar is an example of this!)

Another valid point worth mentioning is the fact that gtr 1 is tremolo

picked EXTREMELY SLOW copared to most metal bands. it's more of 16th notes

so don't play it as fast as you can!

Part 1 (let all notes ring out)

C ------------------------------------------------------------------

A#------------------------------------------------------------------

* don't pick the G#(C#) twice, let it ring and then hammer-on

solo (rythem to Part 6 behind it)

That should be about it. I'll add the solo later, it shouldn't be too hard to

figure out. It's off the C# Aeolian mode (if in standard tuning) and focuses

around the C# at the 14th fret of the 2nd string.
