Mystic Circle - Thorns Of Lies guitar tab
Mystic Circle
"Thorn of Lies"
from "Infernal Satanic Verses"
because of the complex structure of this song, i found it easier to tab the song
from start to end instead of label sections. i hope this doesn't confuse anyone.
tune down 1 whole step (DAFCGD)

solo (the backing guitar palm mutes the open 6th string in 8th notes)
not sure about all of this, because it sounds like 2 solos were combined
experiment with the Em scales and whammy bar if you think it sounds wrong!!!
while doing the slow trill, raise the pitch 1 step w/ bar.
play the 15 while the bar is depressed, then VIOLENTLY return
bar to it's normal position so the note is its normal pitch
