Light Up Ahead

Album: Hide Nothing (*)
Tuning: Drop D

I'm really surprised no one else got
 this first... Super easy and super
awesome with the right guitar 
effects. Sounds best on electric, 
still
half-decent on acoustic.

Intro/Verse

Guitar 1 - Lead Guitar

(This is the best I can make out 
from the intro... I picked a 
repeating
point (* = repeating point) for 
everyone to use to start the song 
and then
you can loop it as much as you want 
to)

Guitar Two - Power chords and fill

(There is lots of extra lead guitar 
being played around during the 
verse,
I recommend either use the Intro to 
replace it, or wait awhile and I'll 
fix

it later. Guitar two should use 
major, heavy distortion for effect. 
If you
actually use distortion, only one of
 each chord is nessacery. Otherwise,
feel free to fill it in with short 
strumming.)
