Castlevania: Symphony of the Night "Dracula's Castle" - Tabs, Backing Track, and MIDI (Patreon)

Hey everyone! Here are the tabs, backing track and MIDI for my metal cover of Dracula's Castle from Castlevania SOTN!

This song is INSANELY fun to play. Hope you enjoy it!

Rhythms:

Style - 80's metal riffage, power metal alternate picking

Difficulty - 2/5

Our rhythms here are super straight forward for the most part! We do have a couple of sections with some fast alternate picking however.

We begin with some heavy power chords just jamming and keeping it super chill. This is a super fun section to just rock out on.

We then go into our chorus which ups the intensity a bit. We introduce some alternate picking and up the speed a little bit.

Now we go into our break where we let the lead guitar do it's thing and back it up with some beefy power chords.

We now have our bridge section where we do bursts of epic power metal alternate picking. This part is super fast so take it slow!

Then finally we end it with a really quick transition riff back into the first  verse. This littler part here is extremely tricky due to the string skipping.

Leads:

Style - cool melodies, melodic

Difficulty - 3/5

Our leads here are JAMMIN. It's castlevania so you know it already rocks and is super fun to play.

We begin with a really tricky tapping part. This part is tough because it's all on the left hand here to get it tight and sounding good.

We then have our verse where the super fun melody is. This part is amazing and everyone should learn this!

We then have our chorus which is also amazingly fun and chill to play like our verse.

Now for our break, this lead part actually requires you to tune your B string up and pedal tone it. This part is super hard because it's all alternate picking and it's super fast and you're jumping all around the fretboard here. It's super fun once you get it down though!

Then we have our break leads similar to the rhythms and that's it!

Hope you enjoy and let me know if you have any questions!

Rock on!
