Tablature of Nightfall - VERY detailed version -

Tabbed By Marco T=FAlio Rodrigues Pires
                          mctulio84@hotmail.com

I decided to tab this song since I couldn't find any good
Sanchez had worked out a very good interpretation too. It=20
was *VERY* hard to do it due to the high number of=20
instruments playing at the same time. Anyway, I think it=20
is very close now; if you want the mid file for this tab=20
just get it here:

--->"http://www.geocities.com/fimuthorn/nightfall.mid"<---

This tab and the mid file were made in the POWER TAB EDITOR

                          ->http://powertab.guitarnetwork.org<-

To get the Power Tab File I used to make this tab get it here:

--->"http://www.geocities.com/fimuthorn/nightfall.zip"<---

Please use "Courier New", "Courier" or any font similar
to these: size 9.

Note: I decided to put all the moments (track time) of each riff
because this is a very difficult song to hear. I did not put that
names such as "solo, riff, fig, etc.". Anyway, this song looks like
an endless solo for the lead guitar so, if you are having difficulties
hearing the passages just get the mid file above, it WILL help A LOT.
The legend is !!****in the end****!!! of this tab. Don't forget to
listen to the song (or the mid file) while you are studying this tab.

Enjoy! ;)
