SONG: Crimson Day
ARTIST: Avenged Sevenfold
ALBUM: Hail to the King
this is a song from A7X new album Hail to the King.
the clean guitar parts follows some irregular pattern of fingerpicking, not complex, you
can easily play it just by listening to the song (i hope so... :P)
the chords on the 'distorted guitar' parts are for acoustic guitar players. eletric
guitar players should play power chords on these parts.
if you are playing an acoustic guitar, you may want to play D9 or D/F# where there's a D
chord, it may sound better.
I haven't tabbed the solo yet. It looks like an easy solo, so I might tab it later
I think it's kinda accurate, if you find anything wrong, just leave a comment :)
