Slaughterday Tab

by Autopsy


-AUTOPSY - SLAUGHTERDAY from the "Mental Funeral" CD (c) 1991 Vile Music
-For best print edit the left/right margins in page setup to make the tab fit the sheet
-Tuning: C (1:C, 2:G, 3:D#, 4:A#, 5:F, 6:C)
-Notation legend: h = hammer-on; p = pull-off; . = palm mute; ^ = semitone
 trill; / = slide up; \ = slide down; ~ = vibrato; " = tremolopick; * = see note
-Note that the tuning on this song can be a bit confusing. Especially in riff B
 and the succeeding riff where it sounds like the 6th string is slightly above C.
 The tuning is C anyway, but if you try to play it together with the song on the
 album it might sound a bit out of tune some places...
