Hermods Ride To Hel Tab

by Amon Amarth


Hermod’s Ride To Hel
I recently got addicted to this song, so I thought I’d try and tab it by ear and 
youtube covers for a little guidance, there are probably a few mistakes but I think I did it 
nonetheless, enjoy! Riff order at the bottom


Intro, listen for timing/number of times note is hit
Riff A
b---------------------------------------------------------------|
G---------------------------------------------------------------|
D-12---11----9--11---9----7---4---------------------------------|
A-10---9-----7---9----7---5---2---------------------------------|
E-10---9-----7---9----7---5---2---------------------------------|
B---------------------------------------------------------------|

Riff B (00’s are palm mutes, could not quite put the rhythm into tab form, so when you 
one, just hit as needed, they’re there as more of a guide so you know when they come in)
b------------------------------------------------------------|
G------------------------------------------------------------|
D------------------------------------------------------------|
A-------12--11---9--11-----11---9----7-----------------------|
