King Diamond's The Trial (Chambre Ardente) on the album The Eye.
Very good song. Has a lot of spirit, tempo changes and diff'rent rhythm.
Relativelay easy to play, so if you're a beginner and want to play
a King Diamond Song, this is the best song to learn (you'll improve
many skills in trying to play it)!
That's Rhythm 1
E |---------------|-----------------|---------------|--------------|
B |---------------|-----------------|---------------|--------------|
G |---------------|-----------------|---------------|-----4------5-|
D |---------------|-----------------|---------------|---3------4---|

When King Diamond begins to sing, play Rhythm 1 then (Rhythm 3) :
E |--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|
B |--------------|--------------|--------------|-----------8--|
G |--------------|--------------|--------------|-----------7--|
D |-------8------|-------8---8--|-------8------|-------8---5--|

E |-000000--0-0--|-000000--0-6--|-000000--0-0--|-000000--0----|
After that, play the rhythms above in that order : Rhythm 2, 1, 3, 1.
Now for the first solo :

By the way, I'll call the rhythm under the first solo : RHYTHM 4
And Here's the 5th Rhythm played 3 times (The last time, play only the 2 first
bars)
E |-----------------|-----------------|-------------|-------------|
B |-----------------|-----------------|-----------8-|-----------8-|
G |-----------------|-----------------|-----------7-|-----------7-|
D |-----------------|-----------------|-----------5-|-----------5-|
A |-----------------|-----------------|-------------|-------------|

PM------------/ PM------------/ PM------/ PM------/
(*) Take Care of that G5 chord, I find it very hard to do. Here's a
tip : upstrike it! If you still are unable to strike it in time,
try to take it on the A string at fret 10, it's easier but doesn't
sound the same.
Rhythm 6 (2 times):
E |------------|------------|------------|---------------|
B |------------|------------|------------|---------------|
G |---------3--|---------3--|---------5--|---4-------3---|
D |---------3--|---------3--|---------5--|---4-------3---|
A |---------1--|---------1--|---------3--|---2-------1---|
E |-0-00000----|-0-00000----|-0-00000----|-0-------0-----|
PM-----/ Pm-----/ PM-----/ PM PM
(*) There's lot of tremolo bar-harmonic-reverb-echo effect over this part.
Rhythm 7 :
E |-------------|-----------|------------|---------|
B |-------------|-----------|------------|---------|
G |-------------|-----------|------------|-------5-|
