Dream Theater - Endless Sacrifice
from the 2003 album Train Of Thought
Transcribed by Travis Lausch
Notes: this is one of my favourite Dream Theater songs now. This song is
pretty easy until the middle, then it's solo city! Well, if you have
anything to say or add (i.e., solos!), just email me at the address above.
Tune all guitars down one full step (D G C F A D)

End song on huge E5 chord like a real rock star!
the song can be played in drop d and to make it easier to get the harmonic in the chorus if your tuned to D standard then instead of using the 7th fret E you could use the 5th fret B. Great tab dude
Good tab, but I think it's a waste of time tuning all the strings down when all you need to do is tune the bottom one down to get the desired notes. It's hard to tune each string to the right pitch (if you actually tune correctly) over again just for one song
can someone help me? i'm looking for the version of this song that the Dream Theater played at Budokan... (live at budokan)... someone can help me?
