A Last Illusion

guitar tabs lyrics

Trans-Siberian Orchestra

This is an awesome song to learn. Located on Beethoven's Last Night
Can be played standard tuning, but I think 2nd Guitar is Drop-D
All the lead parts are above the Low E string so If you have it in Drop-D its ok
(Intro Accustic guitar played w/ 1 or 2 gtrs)
