Gary Moore - The Prophet
Transcribed by L[DH]P, 2002
Taken from the 2001 album 'Back To The Blues', this instrumental features the most
powerful lead guitar track I've ever known, here transcribed in full. Beware the
highest section - Gary had extra frets fitted to his guitar for this, but bending
on the 22nd fret is used here as a cheaper alternative!
