Sonata Arctica - My Land

my land ( acoustic ) ~ sonata arctica
acoustic arrangement by sinforge xjp
standard D# tuning . . [ 1/2 step down ]

this is “semi – based” on the acoustic performance w/ tony
and jani . . but you can only see so much of the guitar , so
i used the tonality heard in that performance , plus what
i already know about playing this song . ~enjoy!!

* Dadd4 = x54030 ( C moved up 2 frets )
