Moonshield by In Flames

 Okay, this is roughly what I have for Moonshield so far. Some notes to help

 you along: I'm sure they play this with a capo (or else they just decided

 to be difficult and write something in Ab). Anys, this transcription is in

 standard tuning. I'm just gonna give a quick rundown of the rhythm strums

 and some lead bits, but won't bother about structure, timing or lyrics yet.

 Oh, the time sig is 6/8.

 The cool riff based on the Ab Major scale...

 Next is that quiet bit that sounds like a minor version of "for he's a jolly

 good fellow" :) In Flames use two guitars, but this is faking it by myself.

 If you've got two guitarists, then just seperate the lead from the chords.

   Fm               Eb            Ab

 The run up the neck is basically just a pattern of picking strings 6 5 and

 4 on these chords: Bb Cm Db Eb

 Wait, I'm confused... (my notes are a mess) there's a picking run also

 using strings 6, 5 and 4 which goes something like this:

    Ab    Bb     B

E|4| :-----6------8-----9----

E|5| :---6------8-----9------   then the same chords       vv   vv   v hold
