	Whew.  Done, finally, my first attempt at interpretive
tablature.  Hope you all enjoyed playing/studying it.  Please send
your comments to me at cliang78@yahoo.com.  Hopefully, I'll have more
tablatures and a webpage to stick them on in the near future.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES
*  I'm still kind of a beginner, so expect errors.
*  Feedback is highly appreciated.
*  I interpreted this tab from audio data taken directly
	off of the Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
	Playstation game CD and converted into WAV form.
*  If you've played Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, then
	you'll recognize this piece from the Colloseum.
