MY LAND (Acoustic) ~ Sonata Arctica
Acoustic Arrangement by sinForge xJp
Standard Eb 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!!
