The Great Wall is one of the best song from Beyond's "....and the revolution continue" album. In the introduction, the ambient sytheizer arrangement is performed by Kitaro, one of the famous Japanese musicians.
The tempo of the song is about 80,and the key is Am.
Remember, using power chord will give you more crunch.
Enjoy yourself and crank up the volume!
