 Riff #4:
 --------
 There are 2 guitars present on this part - the bass does the single notes
 and the guitar just does the power chords and harmonics.  I tabbed this 
 so you can play both with one guitar (that's how I do it anyway).

 Be sure to let the power chords and harmonics ring as long as you can
 before switching back to the single note riff.

 Sound tip:
 ----------
 To get your guitar to sound like the recording, I recommend a ton of 
 distortion with either an overdrive or heavy metal pedal. My DOD Death 
 Metal pedal works perfectly for on all of my guitars.

 I hope you find this tab useful.  If this tab has helped you, please drop 
 me a line and let me know.  It's nice to know the work involved in writing
 this tab is appreciated. I've learned that Writing guitar tab is harder 
 and more time consuming than it looks...

 Right you are Ken!
 DON'T GET ELIMINATED!!!!!!!!!
