Stratovarius - Holy Solos guitar tab
Taken with permission from The Stratovarius Network ~ truemetal.org/stratovarius
Transcribed and tabbed by Jere Haakana.
This is an excerpt from the solo part of Stratovarius live album
"Visions Of Europe". First there's a guitar vs. keyboard duel, then they
play wich is kind of a national anthem in Greece (They recorded
the album there) and then drums kick in and Jens and Timo let it rip!
The part after the fast picking thingy rules, I put the chords in there,
try them as a backing track.
