Description:

Artist: Coheed And Cambria
Song: Keeping The Blade
Album: Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV Vol. 1: From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness
This is the first song on their new record. It's actually an orchestra instrumental track,
but it can be played on an acoustic guitar and still sound tasteful.


Notes:

Listen for timing.
