Band: Paradise Lost
Album: Icon
Song: Forging Sympathy
Tuning: DGCFAD
Notes
+ Stars (*) indicate a palm mute
+ I did not tab every chord strum for the octave parts because I thought it would get too cluttered.
+ The lead during the verses is wah-based and mainly consists of single not wah-ing.
+ The Lead Post Verse ending is off slightly.
+ The Solo is not 100% correct. It is just my best effort.
Please rate, comment, and correct. Thank you.
