Celestial Completion


Artist: Extol Album: Burial (1998) Song: Celestial Completion Transcribed by: Emmanuel DeVries Last-updated: 2007-01-10 The song is played in standard tuning on a 7-string guitar. The notes are spaced and grouped to aid with the timing. A good listen to the recording will always be helpful. Watch for the time-signature change near the outro. Otherwise, Please enjoy this festive song!
