Holys

Stratovarius
Tab

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

Transcribed and tabbed by Jere Haakana.

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.
