Yngwie Malmsteen - Faultline

from Eclipse

Judy Letostak (letostak@ix.netcom.com)

tune down 1/2 step

On the chorus, the top staff, the notes are harmony guitars, the top notes

are one guitar and the bottom ones are the second. The bottom staff is

the rhythm guitar. Anything with a = like 7=8 seven is one guitar and the

8 is the other, a harmony guitar.
