Trans Siberian Orchestra - A Last Illusion
Written by Paul O'Neill, Robert Kinkel, and Jon Oliva
from Beethoven's Last Night
Transcribed by Sterling Bond


-This song is an abosolutely amazing guitar song that has three
really great styles in it.  It starts out with a basic somewhat
simple classical style then goes into hella fast metal and comes
alltogether in a big finale breakdown power surge type moment 
with 'Ode to Joy.' Good luck with this, it can be extremely 
difficult at some parts.
-I tune this to dropped D just for the ending but other than that, 
you only use the low E string for 1 note, so changing the tuning 
isn't necessary (except maybe for guitar II).
-About the 2nd guitar part: I definately hear a heavily distorted
guitar note held out behind the main part, but i can't tell if it's
chords or notes or how it's tuned... maybe you can. E-mail me
any suggestions or  comments (shogunwarrior@gmail.com)

play the last three lines twice, try to pinch some of the high Es
the 2nd time through to give it another octave... it's tough...

there's another guitar here but it just plays a palm muted A on
quarter notes for a long time... you can try filling in spaces
with the A but then you won't get the full hold of the chords...

that I can't figure out, but it may be a violin. Please submit
suggestions.

There are 2 guitars here, too (I think). The 2nd part is written 
after the first. It's just power chords but the effect is really nice.

Now I guess you join Guitar II or take over Guitar II with the
chords |A, E, Gb, D, E|. Like I said at the beginning, I like to
play the song in dropped D so i can hit the low D power chord,
but it's not a major part of the song.

Guitar II (@2:47):
Listen to it and you'll figure out the rythms. I'm not sure if
it's dropped D or single notes or what but somehow i hear a lower-
than-E Db at the beginning... Do what you want. Here are the chords:
E, E, E, Db, Gb, (B,) E, A, G, Gb, D, E, E, E, A, A, D, E, A, A, D, 
E, E, E, |A, E, Gb, D, E|x10 D, E, D, E.....

Just for fun, the violin soli after you quit:
e|-9--9--9-10-12--12--11-9------------------------9--10--10--10-9-----|
B|-------------------------12-10-12-10--10--10-12-----------------12--|
G|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

After the voices stop singing, I can hear a really vague and soft tap
solo or synth background part or something.  Either way, if you like
to improv, you've got a good 16 bars to solo here however you like to.
You've got the chords, so this is your part. Have fun and enjoy.
