DETUNE GUITAR 1 SEMITONE TO Eb

Eb G# C# F# Bb Eb

---------------------------------------------------------

Intro:

There are essentially three sections to this song apart from the intro (which I don't

know how to play but it may just

be thrashing all the strings open). Here is an example of all three sections:

S= slide

Note- The whole tune includes a large amount of tremolo picking
