CALEB- Sonata Arctica Acoustic version by sinForge xJp Standard tuning, Capo 2, 4, 5 & 6 (Changes where indicated) *I know.. 4 capo positions is a bit much, and I DID try to at least avoid the switch to 5 in the middle.. Unfortunately, there wasn't a good-sounding way around it.. But honestly, none of the moves are really that much hassle =) Also, in the actual song, the guitar is pretty stationairy in the verses, and all the tonality is in the keyboards.. so I considered the tonality when doing the verse.. I've also MAPPED OUT the chords for a change =D Enjoy!!
