This is A Past and Future Secret by Blind Guardian
I took this from a performance at VIVA Metalla but it`s pretty
much like the album version.
I think that he tune`s 1/2 step down but I`m not sure.
Always rythm guitar on top and lead guitar on bottom.
Trancribed by JoЖo Pedro MagalhЖes
Note: Capoeded at 3rd fret
I`ll just put all riffs first and then explain the music.
