"Key To The Rainbow" by Vagabond Artist : Vagabond Song : Key To The Rainbow Album : Vagabond Tuning : A half a step lower Transcribed by : Yutaka Uchimura (yutaka@twave.net) This song seems easy to play, but not the guitar solo. You will need to memorize where you're going to pick first then exercise your fingers to get that speed. Enjoy!
