Here is another Emperor song. This is from one of the best black metal
albumns ever. That being Nightside Eclipse. This albumn is very hard
to decipher at times due to the heavy distortion on one of the guitars.
Anyway, this song is Cosmic Keys to my Creation and Times, and it
should be all right.

That part sounds really good when both guitars are played at
the same time.
Now go back and play Riff 2, then Riff 3 again.
Riff 4 - This part was quite hard to figure out, but it should
be right.
