A Searing Struggle

            "A Searing Struggle"
Ys III: Wanderers From Ys
Composer: Mieko Ishikawa
Tabbed by: Bacardibreezer
12/7/10

There are two melodies going on in this song, I've separated them as guitar 1 and guitar 2. They do switch a few times
so I hope this makes sense. Switch as in, which one you can hear the best.

If you just want to do the "main melody" you can figure it out and combine them, like what they did in the arrange for
The Oath in Felghana...
