"Letters from the Sky" is a really great song, and while the guitar track is subdued, it is epic sounding. I can't believe this tab hasn't already been done. You need to listen to the song to get the timings. I've tabbed out the notes and riffs, but not the exact repeats of each. For guitar sound on this song, I would go with a clean tone and an echo or reverb effect. As the song builds up, maybe even some distortion or overdrive.
