I always thought that "Healing Tree" was really a magic song.
Vanden Plas are always so deep and enchanting...
I decided to study Stephan's style and here is the result:
this wonderful metal ballad, in all its entirety.
It would be nice if we all do some VP tablatures:
their music is wonderful.

This is my second transcription, but it's my first true tab.
I found every single note by ear, thanks to my Korg AX1500G.
I believe that this gets really close to what Stephan plays.

It is really hard to play the solo as it is: I added the
power chords to make it easier, but the speed is incredible.
Remember that during the solo, the time is regular and the
power chords have all the same lenght: so if you see some
longer bars, it is just because there were too many notes
to put there and too little space.

One more thing: when you add distorsion during the keyboard
solo, check the outro. It is similiar, but there are some
changes. Find your own way >:-)

I think this tab is 98% correct ;-)
Let me know what do you think of it.

Notation:
	16b = bend
  	  r = release
	16~ = vibrato or whammy bar
      13/14 = slide
	F#5 = power chord
