Song

Symphony X - The Relic

From "Twilight in Olimpus" with a lot of great riffs by Romeo. The whole song is in a 6/8 feel.

First, there's an Em chord and later on this:

E ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

H ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 G --------------------9-----11-----12-11-9----11-9---------------------------------
 D 9-9-9-11-9-9-12-9-9---9-9----9-9---------12------12-11-8-------------------------

A ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

E ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

E ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

H ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 G --------------------9-----11-----------------------------------------------------
 D 9-9-9-11-9-9-12-9-9---9-9--------2-------------------------------2---------------
 A -------------------------------------5---4---2---2-----------4-------3-----------
 E -----------------------------------------------------0---2-----------------------

And then something like this:

E ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

H ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

G ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 A ------------------------4-3-1---3-1-----1----------------------------------------
 E 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-------4-----3-4---4-3-0----------------------------------

E ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

E ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

H ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

G ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 A ------------------------4-3-1---3-1-----1----------------------------------------
 E 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-------4-----3-4---4-3-0----------------------------------

 E 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-------4-----2---2-----2---2-----2---2-----2---2----------

The verse riff looks like this:

E ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

H ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 G ------------------------------------------4--------------------------------------
 D 5---5-5-3-6-5---5-5-3-6-5---5-5-3-6-3-5-6---6-3----------------------------------
