GUITAR SOLO:


For the solo, the rhythm follows the following 'feel':

X X X X
|-X--XXXX-X-XXXX--|-X--XXXX-X-XXXX--|

Chord changes are noted above tab lines, and are 2 or 3 fingered
power
chords, depending on what you feel like. For the 'XX' notes,
strike the
full chord, on the others just play the lowest note (Usually
the E string)

NOTES :
-------

- For the intro solo, use the left hand for all taps - The open
string is picked with the pick, then hammer on with your index
finger,
then little finger for the highest note. This technique is also
used in
the main solo as well.

- For the tapping part on the main solo, i find it easier to
use my middle finger rather than the pick edge (Since it is not too
fast)






There are probably a lot of mistakes in this transcription, any
corrections and/or additions would be gratefully received.
Also the rest
of the lyrics would be a Bonus! Listen to the song to get the feel of
the rhythm (and lead parts!!) - It's difficult to convey the timing
accurately using this format.

His mother was a witch. He then, must be a son of evil(or satan, depending where the story take place). He doesn't understand that at first: Am I Evil? Yes I am, Am I Evil, I am Man, Yes I am. Apparently he went psycho, or thought that the bullshit was actually real. So taking no chances, he has to live up to his name. So he took out an entire village.

Cleaveland Steamer tuning metallica is gay u fuckwad. Metallica were the best in the 80's when slipknot nd korn were just little kids with dreams of nu metal shit.
