Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Christmas Eve Sarajevo 12/24

After listening over and over, I found there are actually 4 guitars.

GTR 1 has the high leads,

GTR 2 usually has the same as GTR 1, only lower.

GTR 3 does the haunting 5-0-0-5 part throughout the entire song.

GTR 4 actually has the instrument part throughout the entire song, with

violins, bells, piano, etc.... but it's EXTREMELY quiet.

GTR 3 and 4 aren't all that important, therefore i didn't tab them.

KEY:

^ After a note (12^)= Bend up 1/2 step

~ = Tremello and hold out a little bit longer

CRESC. = Crescendo (slowly louder)

X = Mute

x like 3x= Repeat 3 Times (1x, do only Once, duh!)

\ = Slide Down

/ = Slide up

h = Hit (accent)

(fret #) = This fret Note is Optional (But sounds better)
