Raise Your Banner
Within Temptation
Tune down 1/2 step and transpose +1 to play in E minor or capo 1 and transpose -1 to play in D minor. In reality they’re using 7-string guitars tuned down probably to drop - The first part of the intro is based on Phrygian Dominant - Root flat second major third fourth fifth minor 6th minor 7th hence the major chord at the beginning.
