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

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 :)
