I've try the best as I could to finish this tab.
My friend said probably some parts use seven-strings,
but I made it with six-strings.
And I think it's almost the same as John Petrucci's play.
Follow the tab by hearing the recording to make sure the tempo and to play it correctly.
If there's any mistake please e-mail me for that to discuss..
Hope you enjoy myTAB..
