                             Carry Me Over Solo - Avantasia
                              From the Album "The Scarecrow"
E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| 

Tabbed by: Dragozan

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 :)
