Amon Amarth
Embrace of the Endless Ocean
Twilight Of The Thunder God (2008)
This is the lead guitar only, I haven't really managed to find out about the rythmn guitar.
I didn't find a tab for this song that is 100% correct, so I thought I'd submit one that
is. Please note that this is in Standard tuning, even if Amon Amarth doesn't do Standard.
I like to use the Wah pedal on the intro, chorus and solo part. I think it sounds cooler
that way, and I think Amon Amarth uses the Wah pedal as well.
