------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carry Me Over Solo - Avantasia From the Album "The Scarecrow" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Dragozan Email: coopercoe@hotmail.com Tuning: Standard This is my first tab that i figured out for myself. The Solo uses a similar note cluster to the lead intro, so you can have a shot at figuring out the intro from this too. It's fairly easy. Enjoy, and feel free to comment or correct anything This riff is using the key of A# major I Think e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------3-4~--4-3-4-3h4p3p1--------------------------------------------| G|--3----3-5----------------------3--------3/5-3-----------------------------| D|-----3---------------------------------3-----------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| This second lick uses A# Major too, but at an octave higher. Octaves aside, its exactly the same notes as the first riff, except for the ending, which stoops into higher notes of the A# Major scale e|-----------------10-11~--11-10-11-10h11p10p8------------13/15--13----------| B|--/11-----11-13-------------------------------11----11---------------------| G|-------10------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| And the whole solo ends on this riff, still in A# Major e|---11-10-11-10h11p10-------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------11----------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| I've tried to put in as much theory as i can into the descriptions, to give you an idea of how i figured this one out. It's a great solo, and so easy to play, for something as epic-sounding Thanks :) Update: Here's a version of the tab in half-step-down tuning (Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb). Avantasia normally play in flatted tuning like tihs, so this may be of use to you: e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------4-5~--5-4-5-4h5p4p2--------------------------------------------| G|--4----4-6----------------------4--------4/6-4-----------------------------| D|-----4---------------------------------4-----------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|-----------------11-12~--12-11-12-11h12p11p9------------14/16--14----------| B|--/12-----12-14-------------------------------12----12---------------------| G|-------11------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|---12-11-12-11h12p11-------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------12----------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Hope this update's of any use :) ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************
