*************************** END (enjoy it!)*********************** Thanx godness I finished.The solo had some parts quite difficult for me; moreover the artificial harmonics could hurt your ears cause of the very high frequencies.I hope you could use this, I know sometimes looks a bit chaotic but the song is very easy, no rare chords, no 100 notes/second tapping, just a plain Em chord and a suitable solo. Any suggestion or comment bout this , email me asc12@alu.um.es or nunozowie@mixmail.com By the way, if you see this symbol ? it?s supposed to be an apostrophe but this keyboard hates me.
