DREAM THEATER - "Burning My Soul" Tablature
Official DREAM THEATER Tablature & Sheet Music »
of the album "Falling into Infinity"
Transcribed by Bernardo Borghetti - borghetti@netgo.com.br
"4-stringed" by Christian Andolf - christian.andolf@home.se
4-string bass
Tuning: Drop-D (tune down lowest string one step)
Altough this song can be played on a 4-string, it is recommended that you play
it with 5 or 6-string since Dream Theaters songs are played mostly with one of
those two so that you'll get used to them if you aren't already.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official DREAM THEATER tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
