-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:Cedar redaC

Tuning:EADGBe
 
Tempo: About 160 bpm
 
The guitar solo isn't perfect, but I think you'll get a decent idea.
 
This song from Clockwork Angels starts with one measure of Drums
 
Riff 1:

E|-------------------|------------------|----3-3---3-3---|---1-1----1-1------|
 
Riff 2(Bass starts): same progression, but the last two chords are
                     power chords. Strummed as eighth notes.

Awesome tab! Just wanted to share that the solo is in A harmonic Minor! Allow me to share something that I've been working on getting down solid! ~A Harmonic Minor/E Phrygian Dominant~ ~A-B-C-D-E-F-G#-A/E-F-G#-A-B-C-D-E~ The Steps between the notes are the same, just start at a different note. A good way to remember is that Harm. Min. Has a raised 7th and Phryg. Dom. is the 5th scale degree of Harm. Min. scale!
