"King in Crimson"
(B. Dickinson, Roy Z.)
Guitar transcription by Aaron Shay (zerosig8@apk.net)
Ok...First of all,to play this song correctly you need
at least one of two things :
a.) A guitar fit with bass strings and tuned
to drop A.
or
b.) A guitar in normal tuning with a Digitech
Whammy Pedal. (Or other unit that drops the
pitch one octave)
Since the chances are better (yet still slim)
that some of you may have the second, I will tab it for
normal guitar tuning.

This is all the riffs minus the solos. I might put the solos on a
separate tab, but that is a lot of numbers.
