CODA (solo)

For the solo the backing guitar plays power chords which are indicated
above the solo line in single line "tab". Simultaneous guitars have joined
bars. The timing is now different in order to be able to transcribe it
correctly. 8ths = 4'-'s.
Triads are indicated like this: ___3___ or ___ ___

Now comes the tricky part where you have to use delay effect,
harmonics and a lot of tremolo part. I'll just notate only where
you should fret. Harmonics = <12>. From now on to the end of the song
timing is again 8th = 2'-'s. Backing guitar continues. Tempo slows down.

Back to the original tempo, and for a while we have three guitars
playing at the same time. Backing guitar plays single notes.

	the song is written from the point of view of probably the poles and the jews

	Amazing song, and like everyone said, it's the German's type of warfare in WWII.

No Picture Steil Wanna Be	#4 by Steil Lionhart at Dec 10, 2006 at 9:35 PM EST
	You are all wrong, Blitzkrieg is about how when ur eatin a hot dog and u accidentaly drip ketchup on your shirt and u sing the lyrics because of it

	BlitzKreig is German for Lightning War which was the Doctrine of Attack for them until they became in a defensive state but they would all attack at once with Infantry,the Luftwaffe and Tanks all in Unison and would pretty much destroy anything and when they came to an obstacle they would quickly flow around it then proceed after desroying it from behind. It was a much different type of war than the world was used to e.g (world war 1 where they stagnated in trenches then would make a melee attack on the enemy trench). The main reason it was so effective was becuase it was a new type of warfare. Just telling everyone that bit of history na the songs meaning is pretty obvious.

	Blitzkrieg did mean 'Lighting War' and was used in WWII by the Nazis. I tool A-Level History, and am studing Nazi Germany. :D
