Hey all, here's a tab of Michael Romeo's solo on the song Paradise Lost of Symphony X. I
it's very accurate except for that missing bar, I can't figure out what he's doing
If you can, please email me.
Also, I'd like to make a complete guitar pro tab of this song, if you want to help,
me. (jester_if@hotmail.com)
The solo ( and all song btw ) is in 25/8.
