These transcribtion contains several (acoustic guitar) parts from the "Tales..."
-Album as I hear them; for this transcribtion I used the Steve Howe recording of 
Album (a really bad album). Following along with the record (Original or Howe-
Version) is a very good idea...

Perhabs I will complete this version with the rest of the interresting guitar
parts of the original album in a few years...
