FINAL COUNTDOWN (SOLO) - EUROPE


Transcribed by Ansgar Wolsing (www.schrammel-dich-fit.de)



This example shows what rhythm of the fast arpeggios is like:

 16   16   32 32 16          (16th = 16th note)
 th   th   nd nd th          (32nd = 32nd note)
|-----10---14p10------|
|12--------------12---|
|---------------------|
|---------------------|
|---------------------|
|---------------------|


Took me quite long to figure out the correct rhythm...
In the following I haven't notated the rhythm of these licks.
