We searched around the net about Strat-pages and we found some good
tablatures. There is a finnish (we think) boy (Sami Rikala) who has tabbed
"Stratosphere" like us, but our version is better :) principally for the
presence of most of the keyboard parts arranged for guitar but in spite of
all for the imprecisions ... No wonder about the absence of "Speed of Light"
:) but ... we're tabbing it (coming soon) ! During the waiting take the time
to learn the intro, the title track song !
Legend
^ = bend « tone / = slide up until the note
^^ = bend 1 whole step \ = slide down from the note
h = hammer on ~ = let ring
p = pull off 2x = repeat the bar two times
Tune the guitar an half step down
Keyboard arpeggios arranged for guitar

The guitar solo; play it with great feeling !
- The cromatic legatos on these bars may appear strange, but they're right !

THE END.
After "Stratosphere", a second instrumental song. And probably there will be
a third one ! "Timeless" by In Flames (if we'll discover how many acoustic
guitars are playing in the same time ^___^ !). It will be the last, the next
will be (an exclusive of our mailing list and Displacer's site !)
"SPEED OF LIGHT" (by Stratovarius, of course) !!!
