Slowly Passing The Frostlands Guitar Tabs by Ophthalamia

"Slowly Passing the Frostlands/ A Winterland"
by Opthalamia     
off the album "Via Dolorosa"                              
Tabbed by Rob Hartzog

I am confident that this tab is correct, since I plugged my guitar 
into my stereo and played along with the cd.  I'm not sure, however, 
of the positions, so switch them around to find what's most comfortable 
for you to play.

h   = hammer-on
p   = pull-of
.   = palm mute
/   = slide up
\   = slide down
\\\ = pick scratch

It should be noted that on parts that I thought might look confusing 
or hard to read tabbed out (Riffs 3 and 12), I put numbers underneath 
the notes in order to aid in counting.
