Siberian Khatru
(guitar parts by Steve Howe)

The parts may look disjointed, but it should all make sense once you
get the different riffs down. Of course, following along with the
record is a good idea. I just cranked out a quick 'fake' for the
harpsichord stuff because in the band I'm in now I have to do something
since all the keyboard stuff is done via my MIDI guitar.
