This is an excerpt from the solo part of Stratovarius live album "Visions Of Europe". First there's a guitar vs. keyboard duel, then they play wich is kind of a national anthem in Greece (They recorded the album there) and then drums kick in and Jens and Timo let it rip! The part after the fast picking thingy rules, I put the chords in there, try them as a backing track.
