Battle Theme Tab

Battle Theme
By: Queen

This song is Battle Theme by Queen of the album Flash Gordon, I know its not really in 
but it noticed that there aren't any tabs for it,
and it is a very cool song to play. I've divided up the song into 3 parts, riffs, guitar 
and trumpet solos arranged for guitar.

NOTES: - The numbers above the tab is the time in the song that the part is played, as 
parts are hard to find with so much going on.

       - The = in the tab means hold, the length of the hold isn't exact, but it should 
you a good idea when listening to the song.

       - This is my first tab ever so feedback would be appreciated. thanks :)
