Siberian Khatru

(guitar parts by Steve Howe)

transcribed by carl@netaxs.com

The parts may look disjointed, but it should all make sense once you

get the different riffs down. Of course, following along with the

record is a good idea. I just cranked out a quick 'fake' for the

harpsichord stuff because in the band I'm in now I have to do something

since all the keyboard stuff is done via my MIDI guitar.
