Ophthalamia "Track 1"
A Long Journey (aka Journey into Darkness)
tabbed by: Drew Schinzel <analogkid82@yahoo.com> 9/6/99
Legend:
-------
b bend
r release
h hammer on
p pull off
~ vibrato
\ slide down
<> pinch harmonic
Notes: This is a really kick-ass song/intro from Ophthalamia's "A Long Journey."
This is the version off the re-recording the band did, so I'm not sure how much
it differs from the original on "Journey into Darkness." Any comments, corretions,
etc to <analogkid82@yahoo.com>.
