Alter Bridge - 'Fortress'
From the album 'Fortress'
Tuning - Mark: open D5 tuning, tuned flat by 1 fret
         Myles: Drop D flat
tabbed by jjhand
 
This song took me over a week to work out due to the different
tunings and solo section. The Lisbon, Portugal concert footage
(16/11/2013) had Myles playing a drop-d flat tuning for his
parts but Mark is still in open tuning.
 
Please rate and comment. Thanks and enjoy!

I should note that the fingerstyle part before the ending is similar to a few songs Tremonti wrote before that play a low note in triplets and the accompanying higher strings in quarter notes. This may make the timing difficult between your fingers and thumb.
