  Okay, here is 'Hammer Smashed Face' by Cannibal Corpse.  It's a

  bit difficult to hear the guitar at some bits (!) so I'm not

  claiming that it is perfect.

  

  Please send any corrections to abx@dcs.ed.ac.uk.

  Riff 11 - The slow grinding one

  ~~~~~~~

  I-------------------------------I  On the original, the two guitars do

  I-------------------------------I  a trill as indicated by the 4343434.

  I-------------------------------I  But, if you just play the 2 on the

  I----------43434343-------------I  bottom string and give it a lot of

  I--2-2-2--------------------7--I  vibrato is sounds kinda similar and

  I--0-0-0---2~~~~~~~----1-1--7--I  is a lot easier to do.

    PM---+              PM-+

  

  And here's how to put it all together...

  

  The introduction

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Riff 1, played 3 times then riff 2.

  Riff 1a, played 3 times then riff 2.

  Riff 1a, played 3 times then riff 2.

  Then for the last few bars, pick the open E string fast with palm muting.

  

  The bass solo 

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  

  The verse

  ~~~~~~~~~

  Riff 3, played 4 times

  Riff 4, played 4 times

  Riff 3, played 4 times

  

  Riff 5, played 8 times

  

  Chorus

  ~~~~~~

  Fill 6, once

  Riff 7, played twice

  Riff 8, played 4 times

  Fill 6, once

  Riff 7, played twice.

  

  The rest of it

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Riff 5, played 8 times

  

  Riff 1, played 3 times

  Play this 4 times: Riff 9, played 3 times then Riff 10 once.

  

  Riff 4, 4 times

  Riff 3, 4 times

  

  Riff 5, 8 times

  

  Chorus, as above

  

  Riff 5, 8 times

  

  Riff 1, 3 times.

  

  Riff 11, 12 times.

  

  Then come the two chorus riffs, 7 and 8, but with drastically altered timing.

  Listen to the recording, and you should see what I mean.

  

  Riff 8, 4 times

  Riff 5, 8 times

  

  Riff 1, 3 times

  

  Then an abrupt finish on E5.  

  

  Enjoy!

  Andrew
