I use Eb Tuning (half a step down STANDARD TUNING) in my guitar. NO CAPO. key is NATURAL B MINOR (Bm). There's time marks throughout for Spotify reference (the 1975 Studio Album "Fly to the Rainbow"). You can also the official YouTube video for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp10Yxea06Q Ok, so.... This song has some cool-sounding solos that are not too hard, but it's 3/4, and has some strange timings, as usually happens in this Scorpions era. Listen to the song to get the timings right! Even though I tried my very best. feel free to comment! Grab a wah-wah pedal and ยก i m p r o v i s e ! :D -- BPM =~ 108 (fluctuates a bit) Please note that this song is actually 3/4, NOT 4/4.
