Tune your guitar a half step down:
6th : D#
5th : G#
4th : C#
3d : F#

1st : D#
The main used rhythm in this song is the following figure so when i write
the figure's symbol # on top of the chord that means play the rhythm (maybe
not only once ,u have 2 listen 2 the song ,ok bro or sis )
#:

|_|:2 half notes = full note.
v :strike with pick.
o :mute all the strings.
| | | | | | | |

v o v o v v v v

~ :vibrato
t :tap
s :slide
/ :bend up
\ :bend down
x :palm muted
I think you know that stratovarius released a video contains their personal
video camera footage of their tours,anyway on this video Timo plays the song using
flanger modulation and believe me it sounds great (by the way that's how i play this
song i use 2 patches one with the flanger modulation the other with the phaser modulation,
by the way if u are a zoom gfx 707II user i can send u the patches)
play the written muted chords several times and change them by the lyrics
late at... wondering.. (change 2 the 3d chord with the drums)
somthing...

the fast part:there are 2 versions 1- how i play it -2-the original timo
work that i figured out using the zoom built in sampler that allows me
2 record a musical phrase and slow it down so the notes become clearer..
no need 2 say this part is played with the trimolo picking technic..
