Symphony X - The Relic
From "Twilight in Olimpus" with a lot of great riffs by Romeo. The whole song is in a 6/8 feel.
First, there's an Em chord and later on this:
E ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
H ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G --------------------9-----11-----12-11-9----11-9---------------------------------
D 9-9-9-11-9-9-12-9-9---9-9----9-9---------12------12-11-8-------------------------
A ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D 9-9-9-11-9-9-12-9-9---9-9--------2-------------------------------2---------------
A -------------------------------------5---4---2---2-----------4-------3-----------
E -----------------------------------------------------0---2-----------------------
And then something like this:
