Biography:
Nightwish is a symphonic metal band from Kitee, Finland. The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, guitarist Emppu Vuorinen, and former lead singer Tarja Turunen. The band soon picked up drummer Jukka Nevalainen, and then bassist Sami Vänskä after the release of their debut album, Angels Fall First (1997). In 2001, Vänskä was replaced by Marco Hietala, who also took over the male vocalist role previously filled by Holopainen or guest singers.

Tunning: 1 & 1/2 Step down
On acoustic guitar with metal strings, Use a pick (folk guitar)
So. This song has been in my mind for a while and i learned it like all of us from the
tabs.
But the licks and chords they didn’t feel right. There was some mandolin kind of thin on
guitar
But i just guess it was the 2 guitars and the piano and all that sh*t. I saw a video in
internet
From a dude that recorded Marco playing ut live, i had the chance to see a little bit
i figure out
From there the tuning and fact that the guitar lick has a top line and a bottom line in
high strings.
It aint that hard but it takes time. I hope you like it
