Savatage - Hall Of The Mountain King Intro guitar tab
This is only the intro, intro solo, and the verse to the song (I always give up
on writing entire songs). If requested enough, I just MIGHT overcome laziness and
write the rest.
I wrote this tab in response to all of the other incorrect tabs. Seriously,
did you guys just copy off of each other when
writings these tabs, because they are all very similar, and very wrong. They
MIGHT be correct if you said that it was
tuned up a half step. I however, wrote this in standard tuning. Also, I'm not
sure if a seven-string was used or not, because
the palm-muting sounds an octave lower, but I still wrote this for a six-string.
As for the solo, I'm sure most of it is
right, or very close (except the tapping part). Here it is (and the dots are
repeat signs). I hope this doesn't come out messed up.
