Dream Theater - Erotomania - transcribed by Gary Chapman ==========================
I started work on this a few days ago. Since then I hear it`s been transcribed by Guitar World and some British magazine. I don`t have enough spare time to sweat out stuff that`s already been published, so here`s what I got done - the first four minutes. It`s one hell of a tune !
Oh yeah, I also forgot about Petrucci`s 7-string axe. Thus your mileage may vary here.
Key: ----
/ = slide ^ = hammer/pull (b) = bend % = trill v = whammy hit
