What if (Creed)
Hi this is Mandorlatus!!! I really love this song!!! It is really aggressive and powerfull!!
Some time ago I try to find a good transcription of it in the net, but all tabs were not precise, so I started to tab it myself! This is the result: ABSOLUTLY PERFECT!!!!!
Look very carefully at the spaces between the notes, they indicate in Perfect way the lenght of notes!!!!
Good luck and remember: MJOR POLENTE CENCE NUJE, CHE NUJE CENCE POLENTE !!!!
