All Ends Well Alter Bridge
<i></i>Alter Bridge - "All Ends Well"
Guitar 1 - Double Drop D Tuning, down 1 fret

This song has one of Mark's difficult finger picking parts but is a
very warm uplifting song with nice dual guitar harmony throughout.
Please rate or comment.

triplets throughout. Takes a little practice!
