PRELUDE TO MADNESS
from the album "Hall of the Mountain King" by Savatage based on "The Hall of the Mountain King" by Grieg Tab by Rome Ohnui
NOTE: For this tab, the bass is tuned completely to D (D - G - C - F), not "drop D", as in Savatage's early albums.
Also, I opted to play the C & G in the chorus on the 5th fret instead of using open strings because the fretted note doesn't ring out like open notes do.
