Composer:     Edvard Grieg

I believe this piece was often played by Rainbow and Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, although he probably played it a lot better than I do ;)  However, my version is a heavy metal style chunky version which sounds pretty cool.  Try throwing in pinch harmonics in the main riff, it can sound really cool!  Any comments or suggestions to [email protected] please :)
