This is "A Past and Future Secret" by Blind Guardian



I took this from a performance at VIVA Metalla but it's pretty

much like the album version.

I think that he tune's 1/2 step down but I'm not sure.

Always rythm guitar on top and lead guitar on bottom.



Note: Capoeded at 3rd fret



I'll just put all riffs first and then explain the music.
