Done ! not all the arrangment is here so just listen . It's easy .
Tuning please?!!?
Emperor uses standard tunning usually, but I haven't actually tried this tab so I could be wrong...
Standard tuning. Sounds really good. Posting up a correction from Ihsahn's column with Guitar World for the cool chord bit.
