Song

Symphony X - Candlelight Fantasia

A really beautiful song with a lot of acoustic arpeggios. Don't bother about the key of this song since it's changing all the time.

Try to get the notes to ring out as often as you can.............. The time-beat is 6/8. I don't know if they've tuned down for this

one, but the transcription starts out in the F# minor key. For that key, you don't have to tune down, to play to the record.

I've also included the chords in ( )'s.
