MAIL : [email protected]
This is one of the fastest song of COF, one of the easiest too.
I think it's one of the best too !! I tabbed Gian and Paul.
Equipment: Gian: Gibson Les Paul
Paul: BC Rich
They use both the pre-amp "5150 Peavey" for the dist.
Personnaly, I use the "Boss Hyper Metal 3" distortion pedal,
but the Boss MT-2 is better !!!
LET'S ROCK !!!:
!!!!! WARNING !!!!! Drop - D Tuning : DAFCGD
Meanings : \ : slide up
~ : vibrato
h : Hammer on
p : pull off
^ : bend down or up (as your preference)
x\ : pick slide, begin the slide at the bottom of the string, finish at the top !

Here Gian plays an octave lower, on C-String. But this riff is easier !! Because the frets are
smaller. * You can substitute this note by the 7th fret on G-String !

Yeah!! finish, sorry for my english !! it isn't always correct ! But the tab sounds good,
very exact !!! I doubt for the outro, mail me if u find any mistakes !!!!
For more precision, you can watch the DVD " Heavy left-handed & Candid ", the DVD of this concert.
And mail me , if you have the tab of " Amor E morte " the solo, " Tortured Soul Asylum ", or
the strange interlude, in " Funeral in Carpathia " !! PLEASE !!!!
