Here's another one from "Good Apollo" called Apollo I: The Writing Writer.
A lot of the riffs in this song reappear in The Willing Well III: Apollo I:
The Telling Truth as well as a riff from Blood Red Summer so, when I get to
that track, it shouldn't take much extra work to get it tabbed out for
everyone. I'm pretty sure that Phase I is off and Phase II may be a little
as well but the clean guitars on this song are extremely hard to hear.
If anybody has any question, comments, or corrections PLEASE send them to

anything you submit to me.
