Song : Mother Europe Band : Ancient Rites CD : Fatherland (1998) Label : Mascot Records G?nther Theys - Vocals, bass Jan "?rkki" Yrlund - Guitars (acoustic & electric) Erik Sprooten - Guitars Walter van Cortenberg - Drums Additional musician: Oliver Philipps ? Keyboards Mother Europe by the Flemish (Belgian) Pride : Ancient Rites. I?ve seen this song tabbed somewhere, but that version was such a disgrace in my opinion (no offence) that I decided to make an accurate version as possible. Of course not everything will sound the same and I?m sure I made some errors (mainly due ignorance) but I think it comes pretty close to the original.

The solo starts after the 1st repeat. Let the last power chord of the last repeat ring. Sorry I didn?t synchronised the solo with the backings, but I don?t have enough space to make the timing correct, but I hope you?ll get the Idea. _ |----------------------------------------------------- | |----------------------------------------------------- | |---------------7------7------9------9------6------6-- | |-4------4------7------7------9------9------6------6-- | |-4------4------5-5555-5-5555-7-7777-7-7777-4-4444-4-- | |-2-2222-2-2222---....---....---....---....---....---- | | .... .... | |----------------------------------------------------- | |----------------------------------------------------- | |----------------------------------7------7------6---- | |------4------4------2------2------7------5------6---- | 4x |-4444-4------4------2------2------5-5555-5-5555-4---- | |-....-2-2222-2-2222-0-0000-0-0000-------------------- | .... .... .... .... .... .... | |----------------------------------------------------- | |----------------------------------------------------- | |------666-------------------------------------------- | |------666-------------------------------------------- | |-4444-444-------------------------------------------- | |----------------------------------------------------- | _| Time 2.47 This is the solo. Play it after The 1st repeat of the ?solo backing? mentioned above. The *** part is slightly tremelopicked, but I think It sounds better and more clearly without. The tapping part is hard to transcribe, but it?s ok I guess. The tapping riff is played two times, but I transcribed it two times because the end is a bit different on the 2nd repeat. |-17-16-14-16-14----14--------------------------------

It?s called ?Harmonising?. You take a riff and play it with a two guitars or Keyboards or whatever but then you lower or higher The pitch of the riff by playing some frets higher Or lower and playing it at exact the same time. It gives a very unique sound. The two Guitars sometimes don?t play the same, but I just kept it simple by taking the standard riff. |---9-7h9p7p5---5-7---5-7~---9-7h9p7p5-----5-7-9------ |-7-----------9-----9------5-----------9-9-------7~--- |----------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------- | |---6-4h6p4p2---2-4---2-4~---6-4h6p4p2-----2-4-7------ |-4-----------6-----6------2-----------6-6-------4~--- |----------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------- |---9-7h9p7p5---5-7---5-7~---9-7-12------------------- |-7-----------9-----9------7--------14h15p14p12-14~--- |----------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------- | |---6-4h6p4p2---2-4---2-4~---6-4-9-------------------- |-4-----------6-----6------4-------11h12p11p9-11~----- |----------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------- |---9-7h9p7p5---5-7---5-7~---9-7h9p7p5-----5-7-9------ |-7-----------9-----9------5-----------9-9-------7~--- |----------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------- | |---6-4h6p4p2---2-4---2-4~---6-4h6p4p2-----2-4-7------ |-4-----------6-----6------2-----------6-6-------4~--- |----------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------- |---9-7h9p7p5---5-7---5-7~---9-7-12------------------- |-7-----------9-----9------7--------14-15-14-12-14~--- |----------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------- | |---6-4h6p4p2---2-4---2-4~---6-4-9-------------------- |-4-----------6-----6------4-------11-12-11-9-11~----- |----------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------- Time : 3.43 Another little fill. ?d? means DOWNSTROAK, ?u? means UPSTROAK.
