---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Episode - Stratovarius ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Holla!!this is a classic instrumental by one of my favourite bands... in my mind the greatest neoclassical(or is it neoclassic?)metal band there is.... There was 1 other tab of this on UG, but it didnt have the rythm part, (the arpeggios going on throughout the song) and even the guitar lead didnt sound right to me, so i thought i'd tab it myself. I'm pretty sure it's 100 % right. :). plz rate it, n feel free to mail me any suggestions. Rock on!!! RYTHM(keyboards, I think; sounds great on clean or acoustic nonetheless): (it's the intro, and goes on throughout the song as well). e|--------------------------------------------------| B|-------7-----------7-----------6-----------6------| G|-----8---8-------8---8-------8---8-------7---7----| X 2 D|---8-------8---8-------8---8-------8---8-------8--| A|-6-----------6-----------8------------------------| \ E|-------------------------------------6------------| ---Repeat e|-------7-----------7-----------6-----------6------| / throughout B|-----9---9-------9---9-------6---6-------6---6----| / G|---8-------8---8-------8---7-------7---7-------7--| X 2 / D|-9-----------9-----------8-----------8------------| A|--------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------| GUITAR LEAD(tuned half step down) : eb|--------------------------------------------------| Bb|-8-------7----------------------------------------| Gb|------------9-------7--5--4-----5\2--2/4----------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--------------------------------------------------| Eb|--------------------------------------------------| eb|--------------------------------------------------| Bb|-8-------7----------------------------------------| Gb|------------9-------7--5--4-----5\2--2/4----------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--------------------------------------------------| Eb|--------------------------------------------------| eb|--------------------------------------------------| Bb|--------------------------------------------------| Gb|-4/5----7-7/9-----7--5--4------5\2---2/4----------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--------------------------------------------------| Eb|--------------------------------------------------| eb|--------------------------------------------------| Bb|--------------------------------------------------| Gb|-4/5----7-7/9-----7--5--4------5\2---4/11---------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--------------------------------------------------| Eb|--------------------------------------------------| eb|-15-----14----------------------------------------| Bb|------------17------15--13--12---13\10--10/12-----| Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--------------------------------------------------| Eb|--------------------------------------------------| eb|-15-----14----------------------------------------| Bb|------------17------15--13--12---13\10--10/12-----| Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--------------------------------------------------| Eb|--------------------------------------------------| eb|--------------------------------------------------| Bb|-13/15----15--------------------------------------| Gb|------------------17/16--14------16\12---12/14----| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--------------------------------------------------| Eb|--------------------------------------------------| eb|--------------------------------------------------| Bb|--------------------------------------------------| Gb|-12-----14--14/16----14--12--11----12\9---9/11----| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--------------------------------------------------| Eb|--------------------------------------------------| eb|------------------14-15---------------------------| Bb|-13----15h17-------------12----13--13/15----------| Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--------------------------------------------------| Eb|--------------------------------------------------| eb|-17b19---14-15-15/17--19-19/20--22-22/24----------| Bb|--------------------------------------------------| Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--------------------------------------------------| Eb|--------------------------------------------------| Feedback eb|-24b25---------24~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-------------| Bb|--------------------------------------------------| Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--------------------------------------------------| Eb|--------------------------------------------------| | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note ===============================================================================
