The Trivial Paroxysm

Song: The Trivial Paroxysm
Band Name: Becoming the Archetype
Album: Terminate Damnation (Tooth and Nail records)
Music by: Jason Wisdom, Sean Cunningham, Jon Star, Seth Hecox and Brent Duckett
Transcribed by: Alex Polgar

So as I promised when I did the intro to this song, this is the full version. I did not 
any of the solos but I did do the piano part converted to guitar. I think it sounds good 
only riff that I had trouble with was Riff #22 but I think I did it well. Anyways, enjoy!
