[Bassem]

Hello Jari and Kai, I am in the midst of tabbing battle against time and It would be very helpful if you gave me some answers to some questions i have about playing your songs.

1. First of all, in Battle Against Time when you start chanting at the beginning. Do you play each chord once or multiple times? Because I've seen you play each chord multiple times on the DVD but i cant really notice that on the actual song.

2. Is this the correct sweep you play in the beginning of the song?

----------------------10-----------------10h|
------------------11------------------11----|
--------------10-------------------10-------|
--12------12--------------------12----------|
------12---------------------12-------------|
--------------------------13----------------|

--15p10----------------------------10h15p10----------13h|
--------11----------------------11----------11----10----|
-----------10----------------10----------------10-------|
--------------12----------12----------------------------|
-----------------12----12-------------------------------|
--------------------13----------------------------------|

3.and it would be very helpful if you also told me how you play the first sweep in the solo. is it followed by licks or do you keep on sweeping?

4. Who plays the harmonies in the main riff live? Is it you or Teemu?

5. This is kind of a small question for Kai, I was wondering if he blasts on the hi-hat when the chanting starts, because it kind of sounds like crashes?

That pretty much sums up all my tabbing questions.

Anorian and I have also tabbed Sleeping Stars which we have released on our website, your feedback on the tab would be greatly appreciated.

We will also tab Death And The Healing right after we're done with Battle Against Time.

to question 5.

i am blasting on crash cymbal.....which by the way is very hard because there´s almost not bounce at all like in ride and hi-hat.
