TEST DRIVE - John Powell (Composer - How to Train Your Dragon Soundtrack)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Eggingarde
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
Note: This is a complicated song for a single guitar tab. This is my first tab and the
counting & timing is complicated. I suggest you listen to the song to get it down properly.
I have split the song into parts to help with repeats later in the song.
