In the Mystery

Here's In the Mystery from Saviour King. The intro/verse riff is quite nice, though somewhat like a musical tongue twister. It's quite complicated to play, so I played it again at the end, at a much slower pace. Note the mutes there!



Dave has also made a pdf version of the verse, download it here.

Why dont you play "14h16" on the video- intro when it's on the notes? that can confuse some players I think

Hey Kenny.
I'm playing this part this Friday for my youth group's Outreach.

I just wanted to thank you for this, and also ask a question.

What settings do you use on your POD XTL for this song?

If you feel unhappy under the pressure of on-the-go life pace typical of white-collars, you can first do refreshing, carrying the comfortable cotton and linen canvas replica handbags across your body and begin a soul-friendly trip.
