During solo there are some improvvisations around the root notes
this is not a diffucult song, just listen to the record.

note: this is Malmsteen's version of the song, the only difference between the original
Rainbow song is that you've to get higher every note: e.g. riff A would become

G|--------------------9-10-7-|
D|---------------------------|
A|-7--7-7-7--7--7-7-7--------|
E|---------------------------|

I can't tell ya which one sounds better, I do both randomly!
have fun!

You should hear a song from the spanish folkmetal band Mago de Oz called "en nombre de dios". Its a spanish translated cover and its awesome.

Never be taken in by your fantasies and things you dream of- As ever with such lyrics, Dio excels in their creation and delivery.

Dude.. Blackmore got me into guitar.. and Dio into rock/metal.. Them together is the best thing ever to me lol.. I used to listen to early deep purple, and some Sabbath ( heaven and hell ) and also Dio, and Elf.. but when the 2 got together.. omg It was, is, and will be awesome
